The purpose of this study is to improve the care of persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their informal care partners by addressing emergency and post-emergency care through different combinations of three PLWD-care partner dyad focused interventions. The primary aims are to use coaching to help connect PLWD and their care partners with community support and services to improve transitional care, quality of care, care satisfaction and reduce future ED visits and hospitalizations.
