Annotation	The purpose of the multi-site project was to develop and implement a model for dementia care which improved linkages of caregivers to community services. Key components of the model included a single point of informational contact, provider education, case-finding, caregiver education and support, internal linkages and linkages with community services. The model was implemented at six medical centres. Outcome measures included caregiver, provider and community agency satisfaction. Caregivers reported high satisfaction with information provided to them about community resources. Primary care providers reported that dementia services had improved from one year earlier. Community agencies reported high satisfaction with the dementia programme initiatives. (KJ/RH).
