How to integrate dementia patients in long-term care community?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assess and adapt: Anyone entering a long-term care situation has individual preferences and needs ( food, activities, interests, etc). Which must be assessed on admission. What physical capabilities and limitations does s/he have -- and what's been meaningful to him/her before? What adaptations can the unit make so that s/he can participate and have emotional needs met? Staff must consider all these things.
