To understand persons with dementia (PWD) and care partners' experiences with the Primary Care Collaborative Memory Clinic (PCCMC) care model.
Interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of PWD (n = 12) and care partners (N = 16) to identify their perspectives of care received in the clinic and suggestions for improvement.
PWD and care partners were satisfied with care received within the PCCMC, had positive interactions with and perceived a strong sense of support from team members and felt listened to; the necessity of cognitive testing was recognized but disliked.
The PCCMC care model can address many existing gaps in dementia care as experienced by PWD and care partners.

对有目的抽样的痴呆症患者(n = 12)及其护理伙伴(N = 16)进行访谈,以确定他们对诊所所提供护理的看法以及改进建议。
痴呆症患者及其护理伙伴对PCCMC提供的护理感到满意,与团队成员有积极互动并感受到强烈的支持,觉得自己的意见得到了倾听;认知测试的必要性得到认可,但不受欢迎。
PCCMC护理模式可以解决痴呆症患者及其护理伙伴在痴呆症护理中遇到的许多现有差距。
