Empath Health Launches Dementia Training Program Across Nine Florida Counties
Empath Health, a Florida home-based care provider, launched an immersive dementia education program in early September covering nine counties. The program trains professional care teams and first responders while providing support for family caregivers. It aims to reduce avoidable hospitalizations and improve crisis management for patients with dementia-related cognitive decline. The initiative addresses both workforce training and caregiver support gaps in community-based dementia care.
The program may reduce emergency department utilization and hospital admissions for Medicaid-enrolled dementia patients if Medicaid managed care plans or state agencies contract with Empath Health for long-term services and supports.
