Occupational Therapy Interventions for Older Adults With Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

Evidence Connection articles provide a clinical application of systematic reviews developed in conjunction with the American Occupational Therapy Association's Evidence-Based Practice Program and illustrate how research evidence from systematic reviews can be used to inform and guide clinical decision-making. Each article in this series summarizes the evidence from published systematic review briefs on a given topic and presents an application of the evidence to a related clinical case. This Evidence Connection article presents a case report of a person with dementia who is transitioning to a new setting. The occupational therapy evaluation and intervention process is described. Systematic review briefs on interventions for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias were published in Volume 77 (Supplement 1) of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy.
