ABSTRACT
Home healthcare agencies provide interdisciplinary care to millions of individuals annually. Care is typically led by registered nurses who often determine additional disciplines need to be included in the plan of care. We found that, although persons living with dementia represent about 30% of the home healthcare population, data from our home healthcare system showed that over a 1-year period with 36,443 home care episodes, only 29.6% had one or more social worker visits. Recognizing Alzheimer's disease-related dementia as a terminal condition and shifting toward a palliative care approach can be a challenge in home healthcare where care is focused on restorative care or rehabilitative goals with a primary focus on improvement in condition. The goal of this article is to present insights into nurse-led care coordination and teamwork and provide implications for practice.
