Advancing Coordination of Home and Community based Services for the ADRD Population
['FUNDING_R01'] · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO · NIH-11031418
This study is looking at how well home and community services work together to support older adults with Alzheimer's and related dementias, so they can get the care they need while staying in their own homes.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the coordination of home and community-based services (HCBS) for older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). It aims to gather systematic data on the organizations that provide these services, which range from medical care to assistance with daily activities. By analyzing Medicaid claims and other data, the research seeks to understand how well these services work together with traditional healthcare providers, ultimately aiming to improve the quality and accessibility of care for patients. The findings could help ensure that individuals with ADRD can remain in their homes rather than being placed in institutional settings.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias who require assistance with daily living activities.
Not a fit: Patients without a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, or those who do not require home and community-based services, may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better coordinated care and improved quality of life for patients with Alzheimer's and related dementias.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that improving coordination of care for patients with chronic conditions can lead to better health outcomes, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
