Evaluation and care of elderly patients with dementia

Abstract

We have attempted to provide a review that emphasizes thorough, careful and compassionate care. The physician must usually work closely with other professional and non-professional caregivers to provide the most effective care. As in other chronic diseases, attention to detail, planning for the future, and a commitment to provide ongoing care to patients and their families are essential components of caring for patients with dementing illnesses. © 1986 Society for Research and Education in Primary Care Internal Medicine.
