Dementia Care Practice.

University of Massachusetts Amherst, Amherst, MA, USA.
Community-based organizations (CBOs) are an essential part of dementia service delivery to people living with dementia (PLWD) and family caregivers (CG) impacted by Alzheimer's and other dementias, however use of CBO services particularly by PLWD is limited. Referral of PLWD to CBOs by health systems (HS) and health care providers (HCPs) is a common way that PLWD come to use CBO services, but integration between CBOs and HS/HCPs is inconsistent. For example, referrals to CBOs might come from HS/HCPs or from other CBOs, these referrers might provide referrals for a single program or for multiple different programs, and the referrers might be physicians, social workers, case managers, or other clinicians.
