Abstract

With the rapid development of aging and super-aging in China, the number of people with cognitive impairment is also increasing, and there a growing demand for comprehensive and professional cognitive impairment services among the elderly, caregivers, and the general public. Compared with developed countries, the development of services for the elderly with cognitive impairment China is relatively lagging: lack of professional social work services provided; lack of effective support from families, medical care, and communities; and no well-formed community care model for elderly with cognitive impairment, etc. This series of problems leads to the increasing contradiction in the care of the elderly with cognitive impairment. Therefore, actively exploring the best way to develop cognitive services and establishing a comprehensive and professional community care service model as soon as possible is an important measure to improve the quality of life of the elderly with cognitive impairment in their later years This article systematically sorts out the core symptoms and corresponding intervention strategies, aiming to provide scientific management schemes for patients, caregivers, and medical workers.
