“National summit leads to 700 dementia recommendations,” by Kimberly Marselas, McKnight’s LTC News

Quote:

“Participants in a national research summit have recommended nearly 700 new strategies for understanding dementia, working toward a cure and supporting people who have it. …

The findings, updated online Wednesday, summarize last year’s National Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and their Caregivers held at the National Institutes of Health. … Specific ideas to accelerate the development, evaluation, translation, implementation, and scaling up of comprehensive care and supports were broken out into 12 themes ranging from disease stages to settings of care to training and workforce issues.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, Administrative Coordinator, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

Funding? Blank out as usual.
