With the goal of alleviating the paucity of knowledge about
advanced dementia, and helping to improve the care and services
that are increasingly needed for the growing numbers of people
living with dementia-type diseases, this book provides
evidence-based measurement scales for use by researchers and care
providers who are seeking to improve our understanding of the final
stages of this disease. Now collected in a single place are the
best available research tools for use with this unique population,
accompanied by knowledgeable reviews by the book's internationally
recognized authors and by the original journal articles that
explain each scale s development and validity. All scales presented
in this unique resource have been proven effective in eliciting
meaningful data from study subjects, patients, and long-term care
residents whose communication difficulties reduce their ability to
self-report or respond in traditionally measured ways. These
customized scales are useful for assessing the following domains in
late-stage or end-of-life dementia care: Dementia severity,
Satisfaction with care, Symptom management, Comfort during dying,
Quality of life, Activity involvement, Discomfort, Pain, Quality of
visits, Agitation, Rejection of care
