ED-LEAD: Emergency Departments Leading the Transformation of Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
This trial is testing three different care-support programs for people already living with dementia who visit an emergency department. The approaches include redesigned ER care, nurse-led phone coaching, and community paramedic follow-up after discharge. The goal is to reduce repeat ER visits and hospitalizations and improve quality of care. This is a Phase NA pragmatic care-delivery trial — it is testing how to deliver better care, not a new drug or treatment.

You're excluded if
- patients who are under 66 years old
