Rehabilitation for older people with dementia
Abstract
It should not be assumed that living with dementia means a complete loss of abilities. However, people with dementia are not always allowed to realise their full potential. The author suggests that person-centred rehabilitation with this patient group can enhance their abilities and help them to acquire new ones.
