Healthy Aging Clinic
Dementia Care Program
The Dementia Care Program provides long term support for people with dementia and their caregivers. Advanced practice providers work with patients and caregivers to develop a care plan that addresses the medical, social and behavioral challenges that come with managing dementia. Program features include:
- Cognitive assessment and care planning
- Nursing care management with proactive outreach
- Support during transitions of care and in long-term care facilities
- Care coordination with primary care and specialty teams
- Referrals to services (e.g., neurocognitive testing with neuropsychology)
- Resources to community-based organizations
- Counseling for caregivers on strategies to manage both behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia
UC Davis Health patients need a referral from a UC Davis Health physician or provider for these services. The clinic accepts referrals for patients ages 65 and older with selected insurance payors, including Medi-Cal GMC plans. To find out which insurance plans are accepted, please contact us.
