This one group pre-posttest experimental design study examined the effect of a case-management program on the cognitive function, depression, and environmental safety of dementia patients living in the community and their satisfaction with this intervention. The subjects were 10 elderly who agreed to participate in this program. The intervention was conducted for 1 hour, once a week, for 10 weeks. A case-manager visited the subjects’ home once a week and implemented the cognitive rehabilitation program, and assessed the environmental risks, degree of depression, ADL and IADL abilities, and medication compliance. Data were gathered before and after the program and analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 Win. Participants’ general characteristics were analyzed using a descriptive statistics and also paired t-test were used to determine the differences between the pre and post intervention cognitive function, depression level, and environmental safety. There was significant decrease only in the depression score (t=2.68, p=.03). Therefore, it is necessary to present more objective research results through before and after case management comparison with the use of a tool with verified reliability and validity, after screening and classifying the patients in advance, based on the degree of dementia, and modifying the program according
