Adapting rehabilitation for individuals living with dementia requires creativity, patience, and a personalized approach. By focusing on clear communication, meaningful activities, and supportive environments, rehabilitation providers can help improve both the physical function and quality of life of individuals with dementia.

Working with individuals living with dementia presents unique challenges for rehabilitation providers. Dementia affects not only memory but also cognition, communication, and behavior, which can complicate the delivery of rehabilitation services.

As dementia becomes increasingly prevalent in long-term care (LTC) settings, research is playing a pivotal role in guiding how rehabilitation services are adapted to meet the needs of residents living with this condition.
