Examine a new approach for supporting people with dementia and their families in managing the disease and maximizing their quality of life. This book, based on the editors’ more than 15 years of systematic research on the role of occupational therapy in helping families manage dementia care at home, presents an evidence-based intervention that can be implemented by occupational therapists in home care or other settings such as assisted living, and can be used in consultation with other health care and human services professionals. A CD-ROM contains screening indicators and questions, checklists, assessment forms, and treatment receipt forms.
