[Integrating patients with dementia and anosognosia into community care by a psychogeriatric consultation service]. / Die Einbindung von Menschen mit Demenz und fehlendem Krankheitserleben in ein ambulantes Hilfesystem durch gerontopsychiatrische Hausbesuche.

OBJECTIVE: Patients with dementia and anosognosia were to be integrated into a dementia-network. METHODS: Home visits were performed during a period of two years. Socio-demographic variables, degree of severity of dementia and recommended measures were documented and evaluated. RESULTS: Treatment by a general practitioner was reestablished in many cases. CONCLUSIONS: Home visits with psychogeriatric competence facilitate the integration into individual dementia-specific medical support.
