This guide is a product of the collective experiences of those who have contributed to and reviewed this tool. It does not, nor could it, include all possible considerations or interventions needed to help a person with dementia. Each person with dementia brings their own history, personality, medical conditions, family, coping styles and many other issues that require attention, analysis and commitment in order to support quality of life through the disease process. Following general definitions and information about the neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, subsequent sections will direct you to specific considerations. It is hoped that this guide will offer ideas and conversations to help people with dementia.
