Abstract
To understand persons with dementia (PWD) and care partners' experiences with the Primary Care Collaborative Memory Clinic (PCCMC) care model. Interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of PWD (n=12) and care partners (N=16) to identify their perspectives of care received in the clinic and suggestions for improvement. PWD and care partners were satisfied with care received within the PCCMC, had positive interactions with and perceived a strong sense of support from team members and felt listened to; the necessity of cognitive testing was recognized but disliked. The PCCMC care model can address many existing gaps in dementia care as experienced by PWD and care partners.
