- Primary care practices have standard protocols to offer a patient with Alzheimer Disease and their caregivers.
- The quality of care of many geriatric syndromes, including Alzheimer Disease, can be improved by implementing a collaborative care model.
- Similar to many geriatric syndromes, medication may be useful, but it is not enough. Medications are one part of a package of care.
