Quality of Medicare Skilled Home Health for People Living With Dementia in the <scp>US</scp> : National Patterns and Implications

These findings highlight variability in receipt of high-quality home health care among people living with dementia nationally and suggest a need for further investigation as to what constitutes high-quality home health care in this population. To ensure home health meets the unique care needs of people living with dementia, policy makers should work to ensure quality measures are better aligned with the needs of people living with dementia, incentivize access to high-quality home health care where services are limited, and promote systems to improve family caregiver identification and engagement with home health care.

Abstract

These findings highlight variability in receipt of high-quality home health care among people living with dementia nationally and suggest a need for further investigation as to what constitutes high-quality home health care in this population. To ensure home health meets the unique care needs of people living with dementia, policy makers should work to ensure quality measures are better aligned with the needs of people living with dementia, incentivize access to high-quality home health care where services are limited, and promote systems to improve family caregiver identification and engagement with home health care.
