The ADC Program, based on the award-winning UCLA Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program, is designed to help persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their loved ones meet the complex medical, behavioral, and social needs of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Dementia Care Specialists (DCSs) who are Advanced Practice Providers (nurse practitioners or physician assistants) are at the heart of the program and work with the patient’s primary care doctor and/or specialists to create and implement a personalized care plan with extensive PLWD and caregiver support.
