(#1050Video, #1128/Audio) Many older adults with memory loss and cognitive decline want to remain in their homes. Frequently there are changes in capabilities, behaviors and subsequent frustrations which can manifest in decreased communication and activity participation as well as safety concerns and increased family/caregiver stress. Health care professionals, families, and caregivers can help to maximize their quality of life by incorporating a person-directed plan of care.
