Abstract
A national consensus panel was convened to develop recommendations on future directions for home-based dementia care (HBDC).
The panel summarized advantages and challenges of shifting to HBDC as the nexus of care and developed consensus-based recommendations.
The panel developed five core recommendations: (1) HBDC should be considered the nexus of new dementia models, from diagnosis to end of life in dementia; (2) new payment models are needed to support HBDC and reward integration of care; (3) a diverse new workforce that spans the care continuum should be prepared urgently; (4) new technologies to promote communication, monitoring/safety, and symptoms management must be tested, integrated, and deployed; and (5) targeted dissemination efforts for HBDC must be employed.
HBDC represents a promising paradigm shift to improve care for those living with dementia and their family caregivers: these recommendations provide a framework to chart a course forward for HBDC.
Five core BrightFocus Foundation panel recommendations:•Home-based dementia care should be considered the nexus of new long-term care models.•New payment models are needed to stimulate, reward, and support home care practices.•A skilled new workforce spanning long-term care needs to be developed and equipped.•New technologies to promote best practices must be tested, integrated, and deployed.•Value propositions and improved public health communication are needed.
