To assess cognitive functioning and severity of dementia, the Mini-Mental State Examination and Global Deterioration Scale were used. The needs were assessed using the Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly. The most frequently reported unmet needs at baseline both by the persons with dementia and their carers included activities of daily living, psychological distress, and the need for company. Compared to the UC group the unmet needs were reduced considerably in the MCSP group providing convincing evidence that MCSP is effective in reducing unmet needs over a 6-month period.Conclusion: MCSP may be regarded as a good example of comprehensive post-diagnostic support for patients with mild-to-moderate dementia as well as their informal carers.  Keywords: needs assessment, CANE, care management, health care, psychiatric services, social geriatrics, optimization, psychosocial care Mazurek JSzcześniak DLion KMDröes RMKarczewski MRymaszewska JDove Medical PressarticleNeeds AssessmentCare ManagementOlder People with DementiaCommunity DwellingPsycho-social CareGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 14, Pp 113-122 (2019)
