Dementia can add a more complex dimension to healthcare and social care, as communication and comprehension problems may make diagnosing and treating other conditions and diseases more difficult. For many people living with dementia, general practitioners in primary care will be the first point of contact. This FAQ guide examines issues faced by these practitioners in their daily practice and offers specialized advice for supporting individuals living with dementia. Each section includes a case study to illustrate a common concern, followed by an analysis of the underlying issues and suggested approaches or solutions from an experienced Admiral Nurse. Topics include behaviors causing concern in home and clinical settings, management of fall risk, support for elderly caregivers or individuals with disabilities, and advanced care planning. This evidence-based guide defines skills and approaches for all health professionals to provide excellent person-centered care for individuals living with dementia.
