Dementia care guidelines released
LTC Liability Monitor, September 27, 2006
The Alzheimer's Association recently released Phase 2 of Dementia Care Practice Recommendations for Assisted Living Residences and Nursing Homes. The information was developed from the latest evidence in dementia care research and the experience of professional direct care experts, according to the organization. The recommendations are the basis for the Alzheimer's Association's Campaign for Quality Residential Care, which covers fundamentals of dementia care and six priority care practices-food and fluid consumption, pain management, social engagement, resident wandering, falls, and physical restraint-free care.
