In Strijkert et al. [1]'s response to our article “Neuropsychiatric presentations of common dementia syndromes: A concise review for primary care team members” [2] describing the neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) of common dementia syndromes, they point out that impairment in social cognition may explain many of the symptoms associated with mild behavioral impairment (MBI). Therefore, they advocate for assessing for changes in social cognition during dementia screenings in primary care.

Key points The Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (GRECCs) have served as incubators of geriatrics research, education, and clinical innovation since 1975. GRECCs continue to make robust contributions to the interprofessional care of older Veterans. GRECCs make invaluable contributions to advancing geriatric and gerontological science, training healthcare professionals, and developing innovative models of geriatric care. Why does this paper matter?

Longitudinal Management of Dementia in Primary Care Ensuring that the health care system is prepared to provide excellent support and treatment to patients with dementia and their caregivers is imperative. Primary care clinicians (PCCs) are uniquely positioned to recognize, assess, and manage dementia through its many stages thanks to their longitudinal relationships with and their understanding of patients’ larger psychosocial contexts.
