The Dementia Cal MediConnect Project: Improving dementia care via the California duals demonstration.

Healthcare reforms aimed at lowering costs and providing quality care present opportunities for community-based organizations to partner with healthcare organizations to improve care systems for people with dementia and their caregivers. The Dementia Cal MediConnect Project is a promising approach in California's duals demonstration for improving care delivered to low-income people living with dementia and their families. The project is a model for effective advocacy, technical assistance, and dementia training for care managers. Lessons learned from this project may be valuable for those wanting to replicate it.
