People with dementia, their families, physicians and care providers now have new resources to help them better understand and manage the disease and provide a better quality of life for British Columbians affected by dementia.
New guidelines for improved dementia care are now available online at www.health.gov.bc.ca/library/publications/year/2012/bpsd-guideline.pdf.
These guidelines are based on national, evidence-based, best practices and provide added support for physicians, nurses and care providers in decision-making for persons with dementia.
