Tailored dementia care across seven Swiss memory clinics: the CareMENS model improves patients’ mood and quality of life
These findings indicate that the CareMENS model of care can be effectively implemented into clinical settings. It showed a significant reduction in mood symptoms and suggested positive benefits for quality of life. Integrating care management models into memory clinics may enhance patient outcomes and represents a promising direction for the evolution of current memory clinic practice.
