Abstract

The necessity of documenting reimbursable treatment activities for persons with dementia may lead to the selection of activities that result in a measurable score but may not be functional or meaningful. This presentation will highlight how to integrate person-centered assessment and treatment strategies into evidence-based interventions, illustrated through case studies.
