The CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) has three new resource guides intended to support providers and health plans serving older adults and caregivers.  An estimated four to five million older adults live with dementia in the United States.  Caring for these individuals can present unique challenges to both caregivers and healthcare professionals. These two resource guides, one created for caregivers and the other for healthcare professionals, include training and toolkits, fact sheets, publications, and information resources from various organizations and health plans.

Additionally, family caregivers are an integral part of the care planning process and experience for older adults. This guide includes resources that providers can use to support family caregivers, including information about mental health and respite care, care transitions, and evidence-based dementia care training.
