@mpmesias Reach out to their primary care clinician! They likely know a lot about the patient and their home and community supports- knowledge that is essential for discharge planning and patient centered care.

Rather than immediate care needs at the time of disease onset, the spending associated with a clinical diagnosis of dementia may reflect a health care crisis, during which the dementia is recognized as a contributing factor. #geriatrics https://t.co/GgUpAT6s5t

"Egregious" & shameful disparities in dementia dx, care, & research for Black/Hispanic older adults, who are MOST impacted. Could we PLEASE spend $50k/yr/person getting these vulnerable older adults good care, & shelve 'mabs til this is fixed?? @halima_amjad at #AGS22

- Don't thicken it.
- Make sure he gets what he wants.
- Don't ask anybody. It won't take long. Go get it by yourself.
