Abstract
"The Dementia Connection Model is a recipe to connect families in a way that produces positive interactions and preserves their loved one's level of functioning for as long as possible. The model brings together three concepts in dementia care of what is happening to the person with Alzheimer disease and, more importantly, why these things are happening as the person's condition progresses and how to intervene successfully"-- Provided by publisher
