Effectiveness of home-based, non-exercise interventions for dementia: A systematic review

Abstract: IntroductionDementia is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by cognitive decline and increased functional dependency. With most persons living with dementia (PLWDs) residing at home, home-based interventions provide a convenient and individualized alternative for person-centered care. Most of the evidence focused on specific interventions or exercise-based activities; there remains a gap in understanding the impacts of a broader range of non-exercise interventions on PLWDs and their caregivers.

“…21 Multicomponent or home-based non-exercise interventions such as cognitive stimulation therapy may be effective in reducing caregivers' burden, especially if the intervention improved the PLWD's functional status. 51,53 Transferring to community services delayed global function decline in PLWD, 54 resulting in reducing caregiving burden. For employed caregivers, family care leaves and flexible working hours may also be effective to reduce their burden.…”

“…Two reviews considered a range of interventions designed to maintain functional activity in dementia. Both identified heterogeneity between studies, mixed evidence of effectiveness, generally low quality of evidence, but a greater effect when interventions were tailored to participants’ interests and abilities and delivered by registered therapists 9091. The evidence for moderate to high intensity exercise preventing falls in cognitively intact older people is strong 92…”
