Patients with dementia had significant short-term improvement in functional and quality-of-life outcomes after four months of home-based behavioral intervention, data from a randomized trial showed. Compared with a control group, patients assigned to the intervention had significantly better scores related to functional dependence and engagement (P=0.03 to P=0.007). Caregivers also had significant improvement in well-being and confidence in performing activities (P=0.002 for both).
