US EditionHow to Help an Elderly Person with Dementia
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND CHARLOTTE REGION, JUL 16 – The AI tool identified a 46% reduction in cognitive decline in slow-progressing Alzheimer's patients, enabling more efficient and cost-effective clinical trials, researchers said.
- On July 1, 2025, Carolina Caring introduced a Dementia Care Program and received CMS approval to participate in the national GUIDE Model, aiming to enhance support for individuals living with dementia.
- This program builds on years of internal development and aims to close critical support gaps by extending personalized care beyond hospice eligibility.
- Early signs of dementia are often subtle and overlooked, including confusion, personality changes, and social withdrawal, making early diagnosis essential.
- A recent study published in Nature Communications applied an AI model to reanalyze data from a prior large trial and found that, in patients predicted to progress slowly, the investigational treatment substantially slowed cognitive deterioration compared to placebo.
- LifePath received a $125,000 grant to fund dementia respite care at their Community Engagement Center, addressing high caregiver demand while funding sustainability remains uncertain.
