Rehabilitation for People Living with Dementia: A Scoping Review of Processes and Outcomes.
Maiken Bay RavnKirsten S PetersenJette ThuesenPublished in: Journal of aging research (2019)
Person-centredness appears in most rehabilitation interventions for people living with dementia. Other processes and outcomes are heterogeneously described in the research literature. Rehabilitation programmes can be home-based or take place at a centre. Although not exclusive, the organisation of rehabilitation can be multidisciplinary. Fewer than half of the intervention studies measure the impact on activities of daily living and quality of life. Future guidelines must take into account the weak evidence regarding these aspects.
