As a springboard for this conversation we discuss new prognostic models developed to predict (simultaneously) mortality, disability, and mobility impairment ( Alex Lee first author, JAGS ) and mortality for people with dementia residing in the community ( James Deardorff first author, JAMA IM ). .

So at least in my oncology community, I really didn’t have anyone guiding or supporting or mentoring me. Eric: So now we’re getting this issue of do we have to change things for different diagnoses, different cancer?

So writing a eulogy or seeing that individual, we had an open casket, which was both very hard, but also, I would say, somewhat cathartic to actually do these rituals and participate in these rituals.

Alex: We’ve got a lot to talk about…what states are doing and cities are doing to support older adults in the community. But, what you need is a community-based game there. The long-term care is being actually provided in the community at a much higher rate than what the formal system provides. You go back home.

Next, we talk with James Deardorff about whether we can accurately predict nursing home level of care in community-dwelling older adults with dementia.
