Even in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Splaine Consulting team continues to make strides with Alzheimer’s and dementia related programs. Splaine Consulting assisted a community-based organization to determine what services it could provide community dwelling elders and persons with AD who test positive for COVID-19 from a community testing site. In less than 10 business days, we identified service options within their existing capability, short- and longterm payment mechanisms and an assessment of the potential for partnerships with community testing sites.
