How Caregivers & Patients Can Help

Optimal dementia care means finding memory loss early. It also means early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias. We want to help people with dementia live better lives. By joining our study, you can help improve the Annual Wellness Visit for those with dementia.

  • Are you caring for a loved one 65 or older with a memory problem or dementia and
  • Have you attended at least one Annual Wellness Visit with them?

Or

  • Are you on Medicare, 65 or older, with a memory problem and
  • Have received at least one Annual Wellness Visit?

If so, your unique experience could be the key to enhancing wellness services during Annual Wellness Visits for individuals with dementia. Your unique experience could help improve Annual Wellness Visits. Joining our research study is easy! Just share your experience with wellness services. It takes only 30 minutes. Join a private interview, via telephone or Zoom.
