Municipalities To Shift Cost of Dementia Crisis

The number of individuals experiencing memory loss related to dementia is growing nation wide.  The effective management of symptoms the disease of dementia can create is time consuming and costly. 

Research indicates municipalities are implementing different approaches to help manage the cost related to dementia across the community served.  The municipal authority considers an ordinance to establish a monetary fine for preventable emergency service calls related to dementia crisis like symptoms.

The symptoms related to dementia are progressive in nature.  Even with an organized process of care the individual can experience crisis like events.  The crisis like events can scare most everyone involved and usually results in a contact of emergency services.

The emergency responders working with law enforcement may arrange an emergency placement.  This removes the elder experiencing the undesired symptoms of dementia to another location where care can be delivered.

In the past emergency responders could coordinate an emergency placement in a local assisted living dwelling where the elder is helped until the crisis like symptoms pass.  The family could take comfort in the knowledge that there loved one was close by. 

With the implementation of an ordinance that establishes a monetary fine for preventable emergency service calls the local assisted living dwelling will no longer accept an emergency placement.  The assisted living provider rather than serving an immediate high need individual with the risk of a municipal fine will turn the emergency responders request for help away.

This greatly limits options and often results in the individual in crisis being sent to an available bed in a lock down unit in some part of the State.  This involves transportation and labor costs that may not have been listed in the annual budget.

Home Care Path research indicates the complex nature of the undesired symptoms of dementia can create crisis like events that cannot be properly served by one organization or specific discipline.  We are all in this together and it will likely take a community approach to effectively care for our aging citizens while holding costs down.
