Delaying Transition Into Long-Term Care for Persons Living With Dementia: Multispecialty Interprofessional Team Memory Clinics

With COVID-19 highlighting the substantive risks to older adults living in congregated settings, an emphasis should be on supporting persons with dementia to live in the community safely for as long as possible. Primary care-based interventions such as Multispecialty Interprofessional Team (MINT) memory clinics (previously referred to as Primary Care Collaborative Clinics) provide a significant opportunity to support community-dwelling older adults to live at home, delay long-term care placement, and address systemic challenges that impede the delivery of quality dementia care.
