The balancing act of dementia care: an ethnographic study of everyday life and relatives' experiences in a Danish nursing home for people living with advanced dementia.

The findings showed that everyday life in the nursing home was organized to support a meaningful life for the residents by providing activities and togetherness on a daily basis. While relatives generally appreciated the everyday life experienced in the nursing home, challenges were encountered in connection with the provision of an appropriate balance between levels and types of activities and togetherness for all residents.
