Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
D-CARE: The Dementia Care Study This pragmatic randomized clinical trial of 2150 persons with dementia and their caregivers, at four diverse clinical trial sites in the United States, compares the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of 18 months of health systems-based dementia care provided by a Dementia Care Specialist (nurse practitioner or physician assistant) who works within the heath system versus community-based dementia care provided by a Care Consultant (social worker, nurse, or therapist) who works at a Community-Based Organization (CBO). The trial will also compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of both models versus usual care.
