Design and Development of a Community-Based, Interdisciplinary, Collaborative Dementia Care Program

•What is the primary question addressed by this study?We developed and began implementation of a community-based, interdisciplinary dementia care intervention with dyad support provided by an unlicensed work force called Health Coaches.•What is the main finding of this study?Dementia Care Partners partnered with three primary care clinics, identified eligible patients through an electronic health record algorithm, and enrolled 87 dyads from December 2018 to June 2020. We demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and high satisfaction among primary care providers as well as dementia caregivers.•What is the meaning of the finding?Use of Health Coaches to provide dyadic dementia care services in the community and supervised by an interdisciplinary team is a promising model of adjunctive dementia care in partnership with primary care providers. Future studies assessing potential cost savings and decreased healthcare utilization are needed.
