Beth Hanlon grabs the stethoscope she keeps roped around the headrest of her car's passenger seat and strides through the double doors of a Salt Lake City nursing home, her first "house call" of the day.

"Hi, Nancy. How are you? Do you remember me? What's my name?" she asks, spotting her patient, 87-year-old Nancy Palmer, across the foyer in a wheelchair, sipping juice with a half-dozen other residents.

"You're my favorite person, that's all I know," says Palmer, who has dementia. "It's so nice of you to come, as busy as you are."
