[Medical services for dementia in the Comprehensive Strategy to Accelerate Dementia Measures (New Orange Plan)].

The way to provide medical services for dementia was reviewed in the context of the Comprehensive Strategy to Accelerate Dementia Measures (New Orange Plan). The basic structure of service providing system consists of the primary and secondary care services. Both are expected to function in the context of the community-based integrated care system. Because of regional differences, prefectural government should take measures to make the Medical Center for Dementia function depending on local circumstances. Psychiatric services and general hospitals are expected to provide mental health services and treatment for concurrent medical conditions, respectively. Home medical care is expected to be fundamental services for persons with advanced-stage dementia. In super-aging society, the standard medical service for older persons should be adapted to older persons living with dementia.
