Association toolkit helps physicians develop care plans for people living with cognitive impairment
|
Under new Medicare reimbursement rules, cognitive and functional assessments and care planning for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairment are covered. The Alzheimer's Association has created a toolkit for physicians with materials on assessing older adults' functioning, the severity of their condition, neuropsychiatric symptoms, their safety at home and in outside settings, and the kind and extent of available caregiving support.

Participating in clinical trials could help lead to potential treatments
|
Every Alzheimer's and related dementia clinical trial gives researchers invaluable information that may eventually lead to answers on how to treat the disease. Alzheimer's Association TrialMatch® is a free, easy-to-use matching service that connects individuals living with Alzheimer's, caregivers, healthy volunteers and physicians with current studies.
