“…With the increasing number of home support clients presenting with dementia-related symptoms, there was agreement from home support staff, managers and key stakeholders, that home support staff working with a person living with dementia require specialised training in dementia care. This finding is strongly supported by the research literature, with numerous studies revealing that the quality of care provided to people living with dementia is, in part, predicated upon the level of specialised dementia-care training staff receive [18,19].…”

“…As a consequence the picture of resource provision for the older person may be a series of piecemeal contributions from a range of different services, with no one having an unambiguous responsibility for taking a broader view of need beyond their own particular remit. Assessment and care plans tend, therefore, to be 'service oriented' rather than 'client-centred', piecemeal and not holistic, defining needs in terms of available services of care rather than individual problems" ( [19], p. 3).…”

“…In contrast, many developed countries have formulated, or are in the process of developing, policies and services aimed at supporting the needs of individuals living with dementia and their family/caregivers. While the management of dementia care varies globally, home-based support is typically a leading component of government policy as it is viewed as a cost effective support measure [3,4].…”

“…Dementia is not a single disease, it is caused by a variety of brain illnesses that affect memory, thinking, behaviour and ability to perform everyday activities, and is usually of a chronic progressive nature [3]. Dementia is a costly condition from its social, economic, and health dimensions, and numerous nations are formulating strategies such as home support to manage this development such as the provision of home support [1].…”

Home support programmes provide services to enhance the well-being of both people living with dementia and their family/caregivers. There is limited research into the effectiveness of these home support programmes. This chapter reports on a small-scale study undertaken in New Zealand aimed at identifying factors that constitute effective restorative home support services for people living with dementia and their caregivers. A restorative home support approach aims to meet an individual's daily needs as well as promoting activity and independence. Data collection was undertaken in two phases, firstly, an international literature review identified a range of positive outcomes for participants of restorative home support programmes, such as improving functional outcomes, improving quality of life and reduced rates of institutionalism. Secondly, mixed methods were used to elicit views of multiple stakeholders. Quantitative survey data was reported using descriptive statistics and thematic pattern analysis was performed on the qualitative data. Ten key factors of effective home support services were identified under three broad categories: Client and Caregivers, Community and Organisational. These findings raise issues around what constitutes effective restorative home support and may inform debate internationally and lead to better outcomes for clients and their caregivers.

Dementia is an increasing challenge for health care and social system in developed countries. Interventions with a cognitive focus, also using assistive technology, are leading to promising results in improving cognitive and behavior symptoms in individuals with dementia. Aim of our study was to evaluate the combined effects of the standard cognitive training in addition to web-based rehabilitation in dementia people living in a nursing home. We have studied twenty dementia people (10 females and 10 males) with a mild to moderate cognitive decline (MMSE 25 ± 3.4) associated to moderate behavioral alterations, and mainly due to vascular causes. These patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups (experimental or standard treatment-namely the control group). All participants in the experimental group completed the specific training, consisting of 24 sessions of web-based cognitive training, for 8 weeks, in addition to standard rehabilitation. Each participant was evaluated by a skilled neuropsychologist before and after each treatment. The experimental group had a statistically significant change of the Geriatric Depression Scale (p = 0.03), Constructive Apraxia (p < 0.001), Matrices Attentive (p = 0.01), and Mini Mental State Examination (p = 0.04). Web-based cognitive rehabilitation can be useful in improving cognitive performance, besides psychological well-being, in demented individuals living in home care.
