Residential care CHICAGO, April 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Alzheimer's Association and Rippl announced a partnership designed to revolutionize access to high-quality dementia care across the country.
Key Points:
- The Dementia Care Navigation Service (DCNS), powered by Rippl and the Alzheimer's Association, leverages Rippl's proven model of on-demand dementia care and the extensive resources of the Alzheimer's Association, including its 24/7 Helpline and community education programs.
- Millions of Americans living with dementia often face the challenge of navigating complex care landscapes without adequate support leading to poorer health outcomes, high rates of hospitalization, and significant caregiver stress.
- 60% of health care workers believe that the U.S. health care system is not effectively helping patients and their families navigate dementia care.
- "Our new Dementia Care Navigation Service will fill existing gaps in the care, services and support facing dementia caregivers and be a trusted partner with clinicians, hospitals and health systems," said Joanne Pike, DrPH, president and CEO, Alzheimer's Association.
