    • Nutrition and Hydration: Ensuring adequate and balanced nutrition and proper hydration.
    • Activity and Mobility: Encouraging regular physical activity to maintain mobility and prevent complications such as pressure sores and muscle atrophy.
  2. Psychological Well-Being:
    • Emotional Support: Providing support to manage anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges.
    • Cognitive Stimulation: Engaging in activities that stimulate cognitive functions, such as puzzles, games, and memory exercises.

Palliative Care in Dementia:

Palliative care in dementia focuses on providing holistic care that aims to relieve symptoms, reduce suffering, and improve the quality of life for individuals with dementia and their families, especially in the advanced stages of the disease.

Key Components:

  1. Symptom Management:
    • Pain Relief: Addressing and managing pain effectively.
    • Control of Other Symptoms: Managing symptoms such as agitation, insomnia, difficulty swallowing, and respiratory issues.
