Abstract:
This article will review multiple strategies and treatment options that can be utilized by clinicians to address the ever-changing and varied needs of community dwelling elders with Alzheimer's disease and those of their families. Comprehensive assessment and the judicious use of medications, together with other nonpharmacological interventions, may lessen the burden of care on families and decrease the likelihood of institutionalization.
