Dementia Caregiving Studies: A Typology for Family Interventions

Linda Lindsey Davis, RN., Ph.D., A.N.P.

University of Alabama at Birmingham

The number of elders in the population with some degree of cognitive impairment or dementia is expected to increase 500% over the next 50 years. In that few elderly individuals are institutionalized, this means manyfamilies will have the experience of providing home care for a cognitively impaired or demented elder. The health and well-being of all family members-regardless of whether they are direct caregivers or not-are affected by having a demented elder in the home. This article is a review of caregivng literature ofthe past decade to identify and classify interventions that have been successful in assisting caregivers of impaired elders. The intent ofthis classification is to generate a typology of empirically based interventionsfor nurses and other service providers who work with families caring for a cognitively impaired elder in the home.
