ASA Blog: Effectively Selecting Evidence-based Programs: A New Online Resource To Compare Evidence-based Dementia Caregiving
The American Society on Aging (ASA) AgeBlog, has published an article, "Effectively Selecting Evidence-based Programs: A New Online Resource To Compare Evidence-based Dementia Caregiving."
The blog is by Dr. David Bass and team at The Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging, together with colleagues at the Family Caregiver Alliance and the Gerontological Society of America, who are all working on a new online resource on evidence-based programs for dementia caregiving.
Examples of program characteristics to be displayed on the website include: amount and type of training provided for delivery staff; format and mode of program delivery; types of assistance provided; and stage, severity or type of dementia targeted. Also included will be information on how to access programs, with specific contact information for the program developers; costs and fees associated with delivering programs; and reimbursement and/or payment strategies that have been or could be used to sustain programs.

The development of the online resource is co-funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, Archstone Foundation, and The Retirement Research Foundation.
