Abstract: The greying of the population and trends that will change the future institutional context have implications for the social care for people with dementia and their caregivers. Based on the data of services provided by 50 organisations in a region in the South of the Netherlands, an organisational analysis revealed that better coordinated care is needed to fit the changing needs of clients in different phases of the disease process.
