title: [Integrating patients with dementia and anosognosia into community care by a psychogeriatric consultation service].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Patients with dementia and anosognosia were to be integrated into a dementia-network.
  
  
  METHODS
  Home visits were performed during a period of two years. Socio-demographic variables, degree of severity of dementia and recommended measures were documented and evaluated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Treatment by a general practitioner was reestablished in many cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Home visits with psychogeriatric competence facilitate the integration into individual dementia-specific medical support.
