Overview

Mission

Dementia community action network and our supporting partners are on a mission to improve access to quality dementia care in central Minnesota. We believe that collaborating with a patient, their family and their dementia clinician can slow progression of dementia symptoms leading to more life to live. We start with a thorough dementia risk assessment and evaluation in our office, then formulate a diagnosis and management plan. A patient's referring primary care or specialty clinician remains in charge of their care, but we partner with them toprovide a more thorough and successful management. Through personalized recommendations for diet, exercise, sleep, relaxation, personal connection, health habits, and therapeutics can be effective in slowing progression.together, we are ending the fear of dementia.

What it reported doing in 2024

The central Minnesota dementia community action network (d-can) it's central Minnesota dementia resource center clinic (drcc) in st. Cloud Minnesota since april 12, 2021 with generous support from centracare health and donation our office space at their centracare midsota building in st. Cloud. D-can's mission is to improve access to quality dementia care in our Minnesota community. With two experienced dementia care navigators, a founder family physician, a community health worker and variously skilled volunteers, the drcc has evaluatedover 200 clients for either dementia diagnosis/management or dementia prevention. Our services also include caregiver education, training, support groups, couples/caregivers dementia-informed counseling and several large and small-scale public and organization educational dementia presentations. We have worked with hundreds of family dementia caregivers both directly with our services or public educational events. Our most recent client survey results indicate a high level of client gratitude and need for our services while verifying the quality of our work. Our collaboration with community resources like centracare health, whitney senior center, central mn council on aging, county social services, several area dementia-related services providers as well as Minnesota state organizations under the mn board on aging like the healthy brain initiative provide additional validation of our mission and methods. D-can's comprehensive dementia care model is based on thorough medical evaluations that also include a detailed assessment of dementia risk factors and risk reduction planning as central to ourcare model. We see all who come to us regardless of insurance status even though health insurers reimburse very poorly so far. D-can will continue to rely on donations, grants and in-kind work contributions by board members and volunteers until we are able to convince payors of their great potential healthcare dollar savings. Our data will show expected outcomes like unneeded medication deprescribing, supported and less stressed persons living with dementia and their caregivers, fewer er visits, fewer dementia crises, and reduced need for long term careconfinement with our new model of quality comprehensive dementia care.beginning june 2024 d-can and its board of directors began to advocate and seek collaborative support for a state-wide collaboration of drcc's similar to Wisconsin's and Florida's but based on d-can's comprehensivedementia care model to improve access to quality dementia care for all minnesotans.
