Abstract

Caregiving in a long-term facility played a key role in improvements of this patient's behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, which also led to a reduced caregiver burden on her family members. Considering the global population aging trend, the lesson from this case may apply to other settings beyond disasters.
