Informal care was valued using the replacement cost method.RESULTS: Unadjusted mean annual total costs including informal care were €29,930 ($43,997) for community-dwelling patients and €33,482 ($49,218) for patients living in nursing homes. However, multiple regression analysis controlling for age, sex, deficits in basic and instrumental activities of daily living and comorbidity showed that living in the community significantly increased total costs by €11,344 ($16,676; P < .01) compared with living in a nursing home, mainly due to higher costs of informal care (+€20,585; +$30,260; P < .001).CONCLUSION: From the societal perspective care for dementia patients living in the community tends to cost more than care in nursing homes when functional impairment is controlled for.",
