Maximizing Independence at Home (MIND at Home): Dementia Care at Home Study
Funded by a unique private philanthropy and public coalition through THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish
Community Federation of Baltimore, this project seeks to develop effective ways to deliver
dementia care to older adults with memory disorders who live in the community. MIND at Home
is an 18 month intervention research study whose goals are two-fold: To partner with
community organizations to help proactively identify older adults in the Baltimore community
who may need help related to memory disorders; To find out if providing person-centered,
coordinated care will help older adults with memory disorders remain at home longer, as well
other possible benefits. The investigators hypothesize that individuals with memory disorders
that receive person-centered, coordinated care will have fewer unmet dementia-related needs,
improved quality of life and function, fewer behavioral and depressive symptoms, and will be
able to remain in their homes longer compared to individuals who receive augmented usual
care.
