Summary
This study tested a program where home-care nurses were trained to support people with dementia in making their own everyday choices, with help from family caregivers. 12 people with dementia, 14 caregivers, and 33 nurses took part. Most found it helpful, but the program was time-consuming and didn't clearly improve quality of life.
