Abstract

Patients with Alzheimer's disease experience a range of symptoms that may overwhelm the patients, their families, and the people responsible for their care. With today's drive to reduce health care costs, any plan for managing these patients must produce maximum effectiveness at the lowest possible cost. A multidisciplinary team potentially offers both effective and efficient dementia care by eliminating duplicative or ineffective services and maintaining the optimum health of the patient and family.
