Description

Sherril B Gelmon, Walter D Dawson, and Jenn Hollandsworth Reed propose a hub to support people living with dementia and those who care for them. Published in 2025, the work draws on focus groups and interviews in the Portland, Oregon region in 2022 and 2023. Care partners said they need many kinds of help, from facts about dementia to rides and legal aid.

Clinical care drew praise, but finding social supports and clear information was harder. The proposed hub would act as a central node in a regional network, linking care partners to existing services rather than replacing them. The authors stress language access and culturally fitting information so the hub serves all groups fairly.
