- The Alzheimer's Association has published evidence-based dementia
care practice recommendations for use by professionals working in
Assisted Living Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities (Nursing
Homes). Included in this initial set of recommendations are the fundamentals
for effective dementia care, which are based on "person-centered
care"--tailored to the abilities and changing needs of each
resident.
Three priority care areas have been chosen for the initial publication: food and fluid consumption, pain management and social engagement. The document can be downloaded at http://www.alz.org/Downloads/DementiaCarePractice
