| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study we implemented and evaluated the program to improve the quality of care for situations encompassing features from dementia prevention to end of life care. It was established that maintaining and improving physical functions, particularly the ability to walk is important.
The program was effective in sustaining the mental functioning of participants involved for 5 years or longer. The frequencies of consultation as requested by family caregivers were mostly for patients at moderate stages of dementia, suggesting the need to establish and create a consultation framework for patients who are at the early stages of dementia. The quality of care provided for patients at the facilities varied depending on the career and specialties of care managers employed, suggesting the necessity to involve nurses with long career. As the individual elderly patients have specific hopes and intentions for the terminal lives, it is important to provide care by respecting such intentions.
