Dementia and Its Profound Impact on Family Members and Partners

20247 citationsOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Dementia profoundly impacts the QoL of family members/partners of patients. Routine use of FROM-16 could signpost provision of care support, reducing family members' burnout. Such routine data could be used in economic analysis of the burden of dementia as well as in predicting institutionalization.
