Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether movement-oriented dementia care has a positive effect on quality of life and independence in activities of daily living (ADL) in nursing-home residents with dementia.

It was hypothesized that movement-oriented dementia care has a positive effect on quality of life and independence in ADL, as well as on mood, behavior, cognition and physical functioning, in comparison to regular care.

BEHAVIORAL

Movement-oriented Dementia Care

The intervention is a new multidisciplinary approach that focuses on optimizing physical activity and independence in daily care and activities. MDC intended to incorporate all persons surrounding the patients. The nursing staff was intensively trained by an expert in MDC, and played a central role in continuously stimulating patients to function as independently as possible. Geriatric physicians and physiotherapists advised the nursing staff about participants' medical and physical limitations to ensure safe stimulation. Consequently, a plan was created for each resident to determine the daily routines they were capable of performing themselves. Caregivers and volunteers were informed about the benefits of an active lifestyle during several open meetings.
