Unmet Needs of Community‐Residing Persons with Dementia and Their Informal Caregivers: Findings from the Maximizing Independence at Home Study
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: To determine the prevalence and correlates of unmet needs in a sample of community‐residing persons with dementia ( PWD ) and their informal caregivers. Design: Analysis of cross‐sectional, baseline participant characteristics before randomization in a care coordination intervention trial. Setting: Baltimore, Maryland. Participants: Community‐residing PWD (n = 254) and their informal caregivers (n = 246). Measurements: In‐home assessments of dementia‐related needs based on the Johns Hopkins Dementia Care Needs Assessment. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify demographic, socioeconomic, clinical, functional, and quality‐of‐life correlates of unmet needs. Results: The mean number of unmet needs was 7.7 ± 4.8 in PWD and 4.6 ± 2.3 in caregivers, with almost all PWD (99%) and caregivers (97%) having one or more unmet needs. Unmet needs in PWD were significantly greater in those with higher cognitive function. Ninety percent of PWD had unmet safety needs, more than half had unmet needs for meaningful activities, and almost one‐third had not received a prior evaluation or diagnosis. Higher unmet needs in PWD was significantly associated with nonwhite race, lower income, less impairment in activities of daily living, and more symptoms of depression. For caregivers, more than 85% had unmet needs for resource referrals and caregiver education. Higher unmet caregiver needs was significantly associated with nonwhite race, less education, and more symptoms of depression. Conclusion: Many community‐residing PWD and their caregivers have unmet dementia‐related needs for care, services, and support. Providers should be aware that unmet needs may be higher in minority and low‐income community residents, caregivers with lower education, and individuals with early‐stage dementia. Identifying and treating symptoms of depression in PWD and caregivers may enable them to address their other unmet needs.

Unmet needs may contribute to a higher likelihood of institutionalization, placing additional strain on both healthcare systems and family caregivers.

The Introduction (page unavailable) reports that greater unmet need for help with daily activities predicted nursing-home placement in a study it cites. The Discussion (page unavailable) links caregivers’ unmet service needs with stress and burden and discusses potentially costly care arising from unmet safety or medical needs. It does not establish that institutionalization itself adds strain to healthcare systems and family caregivers. (LLM, conf=0.85)

The Results and Discussion (page numbers unavailable) report that more depressive symptoms were associated with more unmet needs in people with dementia and their caregivers. Depression is narrower than neuropsychiatric symptoms generally, and the Discussion says the cross-sectional data cannot establish causality. This paper reports an association, but does not establish that the broader finding has been extensively reported. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe study used a translated and adapted Brazilian Portuguese version of the Johns Hopkins Dementia Care Needs Assessment (JHDCNA, 2.0) to assess need for care.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
