Yes, especially after the regular implementation of the Dementia Community Support Scheme (DCSS) since 2020, all the 41 so-called ‘District Elderly Community’ provide dementia specific programmes (Task Force on Dementia Community Support Scheme, 2017b). Interventions targeting cognitive performance, functional ability, carer burden, psychosocial wellbeing, behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, and physical co-morbidities are provided.
