Home-Based Video Telemedicine for Dementia Management.

Conclusions: Persons with dementia and their families were willing to enroll in an in-home telemedicine clinic. Satisfaction with home visits was high and equal to in-clinic visits. Clinical implications: Video telemedicine is a promising dementia service delivery model for rural patients and others for whom travel to a specialty clinic is burdensome.
