TRACK MEMORY
2 ZERO
Track Memory 2 Zero is a 10 level progressive schedule used by care coordinators to understand increments of memory loss related to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Dementia Disease. With memory loss:
-
The
elder will stop bathing because they do not know how to work the shower long
before they are physically functionally unable to bathe.
-
This
is because the IADL’s (more complex) fall away before the ADL’s
-
By
medical design long term care insurance and public programs do not participate
in the care until the later need for functional help with ADL’s can be assessed
-
Change
in payment frequency due to memory deficit adversely effects the seniors credit
report which is utilized during the assisted living intake process
-
The
factors that inhibit the documentation of a medical diagnosis are numerous
-
Without
a medical diagnosis the provider is unable to properly prescribe medications
needed to manage undesired behaviors
-
The
crisis that drive transitions do not display needs an individual discipline can
effectively meet on their own
-
The
increased incidence of Alzheimer’s Dementia and manifestation of undesired
symptoms is better served when viewed as a community wide issue
