medical care of dementia

An editorial in the most recent Annals of Internal Medicine reflects on two studies published in the same edition that highlight dementia care making the following two points

1) dementia care has to focus more on the efforts of the caregiver, most patients who could live in a nursing home are living in their own home thanks to the work of the caregivier.

2) the office isn't the place to deliver coordinated care as the fee system does not support the activities required to coordinate and integrate ( ?and reward) appropriate care
