Abstract
Affecting over 100,000 older Missourians, cognitive impairment is of concern for all health care providers. With no available pharmacologic treatments to eradicate/diminish symptoms, professionals and families need non-pharmacologic behavioral interventions to enhance individuals' quality-of-life and decrease the number and intensity of dementia-related behavioral symptoms. This paper provides an overview of available evidence-based non-pharmacologic interventions and strategies that can be delivered in both the community and facility setting, including reminiscence, validation, and cognitive stimulation therapies.Entities:
