A new report from the National Research Summit offers 694 recommendations that can guide providers of aging services as they design and implement programs for people living with dementia and their families. 

The recommendations are included in the National Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and their Caregivers. Summit recommendations span 12 themes designed to guide research investments by public and private stakeholders in the field of care, services, and supports for people living with dementia. Five of those themes are particularly relevant to LeadingAge Minnesota members:
