Model of Care for Dementia In Ireland
The Model of Care sets out a range of targets and practice recommendations to advance the treatment, care and support for people living with dementia in Ireland. Care pathways, timely diagnosis and early intervention will provide
an opportunity for the person with dementia and their families to be part of the journey in planning for their future needs and engage with the decision making process around these needs. Evidence has shown timely diagnosis provides
positively for the person with dementia and healthcare provider and enables individualised services tailored to meet the person’s needs. These early supports will further support our Acute Hospital System with Admission Avoidance and timely discharge for people with dementia. The Model
supports the involvement of the person with dementia in research and this is particularly important in the context of continuous advances in care, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
