Synopsis
This volume demonstrates how hospice care leads to improved quality of life for patients with terminal dementia and their families. Much of the information is based on the successful 10-year experience of the E.N. Rogers Memorial Hospital, where the first palliative care program for the management of patients with advanced dementia was developed. This volume is of importance to nurses, physicians, and social workers involved in hospice or home care of patients at the terminal stage of dementia.
