Strategies to Promote Independence in Your Clients With Dementia

Globally, the number of individuals with dementia will nearly triple to greater than 152 million by 2050. There is an impending need and an opportunity for home health agencies to promote interventions to assist people with dementia to maintain their current level of function in the home setting. Individuals with dementia lose independence due to progressive neurological deterioration of the disease. There are numerous strategies that can be employed to help the client with dementia to live at least restrictive level of care, improve quality of life and delay placement. Behavior and functional issues that are addressed are often the precipitant to a move to a higher level of care.

Why Should You Provide Behavioral Health Services Now?

COVID-19 has emphasized the importance of mental health services. According to a June 2021 report, 40% of people had mental health or substance abuse problems. Patients/clients receiving home care experienced unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression due to the increased isolation caused by COVID-19. Still more troubling, the su***de rate in many states now exceeds the COVID-19 mortality rate. Over the past two years, COVID-19 quarantines and closures have strained access to mental health services despite the demonstrated need for them.

In this session, we'll discuss why your organization should provide behavioral health services, and how adding this service can assist patients/clients with managing mental health conditions, which can negatively affect their medical comorbidities.

How COVID Increased Behavioral Health Needs and What Your Agency Can Do to Address Them

A mental health crisis triggered by COVID-19 is escalating rapidly. US adults are now 8 times more likely to meet criteria for experiencing serious mental stress. According to US. census bureau data as of May 2020, one third of Americans report symptoms of depression and anxiety. Su***de rates in some cities are predicted to be greater than deaths from COVID-19. Mental illness has profound effects on one’s ability to manage medical co-morbidities, thus having a trickle-down effect on quality of life, hospitalizations, and compliance. The traditional model of where people receive mental health has changed, and Home Health can play a major role in addressing this staggering unmet need.
