Abstract	This publication is designed to give family and professional caregivers a fuller understanding of dementia in later life and ways to cope more effectively with the changes resulting from it. In addition to general care guidelines, the publication outlines approaches for handling specific problems —driving, wandering, money management, hiding items, catastrophic reactions, hallucinations, eating, and incontinence—and how to communicate with a memory-impaired person. Revised July 2000; reprinted August 2005. A more recent revision exists. Facts and recommendations in this publication may no longer be valid.
