Abstract

It is projected that the number of individuals with dementia will continue to increase over the next several decades, with no cure in sight. Consequently, a greater understanding of how to promote behavioral health and quality of life for these individuals is becoming increasingly important. A common approach in the field is symptom management through pharmacologic approaches to cognitive enhancement and treatment of behavioral changes. Rather than a purely medical approach to dementia care, interventions to improve quality of life should involve comprehensive, integrated care. This chapter discusses literature that describes an integrated, contextual model of dementia care, in which comorbid conditions are appropriately treated, adaptive behaviors are supported, and excess disability is rectified or prevented. Within the context of this model of dementia care, the current chapter also describes the importance of family caregiver quality of life and neurocognitive education, in order to improve treatment for individuals suffering from this insidious disease.
