Abstract

A well-prepared dementia care workforce is urgently needed to provide care to the growing population of older adults with dementia. The reality, however, is that most health and human service professionals are ill-prepared to effectively engage and support persons with dementia and their family caregivers. In this chapter, we argue for a collaborative and interprofessional team approach to formal caregiving. We describe the roles of each member of the interprofessional care team in providing person and family-centered approach to dementia care.
