Use of anti-dementia drugs in home care and residential care and associations with neuropsychiatric symptoms: a cross-sectional study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Seventy percent of people with advanced dementia live and die in care homes. Multisensory approaches, such as Namaste Care, have been developed to improve the quality of life and dying for people with advanced dementia but little is known about effectiveness or optimum delivery. The aim of this review was to...
