The Dementia Capability in Indian Country Program provides grants to support dementia-capable home and community-based services in tribal communities that help individuals living with dementia and their caregivers remain independent and safe.
Dementia-capable systems should:
- Identify people with possible dementia and recommend that they see a physician for a timely, accurate diagnosis and to rule out reversible causes of dementia or conditions that resemble it
- Ensure that program eligibility and resource allocation take into account the impact of cognitive disabilities
- Ensure that staff communicate effectively with people with dementia and their caregivers and provide services that are person- and family-centered, offer self-direction of services, and are culturally appropriate
- Educate workers to identify possible dementia, and understand the symptoms of dementia and appropriate services
- Educate the public about brain health, including information about the risk factors associated with developing dementia, first signs of cognitive problems, management of symptoms if individuals have dementia, support programs, and opportunities to participate in research
- Implement quality assurance systems that measure how effectively providers serve people with dementia and their caregivers
- Encourage development of dementia-friendly communities, which include key parts of dementia-capability
