Evaluation of costs
dementia
We aimed to estimate the per-person costs of GREAT CR for people with dementia based on parameters observed during the implementation. Where possible we sought information about practitioner qualifications and grade, about the number and duration of CR sessions they provided, and whether they involved an unqualified assistant in intervention delivery. Based on what we learned we devised a series of different skill-mix scenarios that were representative of the practices observed across sites and used appropriate sources to calculate unit costs.
