Dementia and Palliative Care: Applying Palliative Care from Onset to Death

Progressive dementias are terminal. From the time of onset patients suffer a slow death starting with cognition and ending in bodily failure. Families, as witnesses to this slow demise, suffer along with them. It is important for professionals to understand the stages of dementia and how to incorporate palliative care throughout the each stage in order to provide optimal care to both patients and families.
The content is appropriate for beginner and intermediate level.
