Intended as a practical guide for health professionals caring for Alzheimer's disease patients in institutional settings, this book emphasizes workable approaches to common problems in long-term care for demented patients. Discussions by internationally recognized experts cover clinical assessment of dementia in the nursing home, why autopsies are performed, pharmacologic issues, coping with care-giver stress, bioethical issues, and a multidisciplinary approach to providing special services for institutionalized Alzheimer's patients and their families, including services to ethnic minority elders.
