Home-based activity program helps older veterans with Dementia maintain function

(American Geriatrics Society) There are no effective drug treatments for dementia or its symptoms, so researchers have been exploring treatment options that don't involve using medication. A team of researchers studied one of those programs, called the Tailored Activity Program (TAP). TAP matches activities to the interests and abilities of people with dementia. Then it teaches caregivers how to use those activities daily.
