Day Care for Demented Clients
Abstract
Day care is a vitally needed form of respite within the continuum of resources required by demented clients and their families over the course of the illness. The benefits provided to clients and caregivers by this form of respite are important topics for further study.
Our data indicate that day care is possible for at least some severely demented clients. We hope that the data demonstrating successful management in day care will encourage some centers to accept more clients with dementia. The urgent need of caregivers for relief also justifies efforts to develop special centers for demented clients and to overcome the difficulties involved in caring for them.
