Background summary
Effectiveness and efficiency of nursing home dementia care is sub-optimal with high levels of resident neuropsychiatric symptoms and staff work stress. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate (cost)effectiveness of Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) in nursing home dementia care by performing a large scale RCT study. DCM is a method by which person centred care can be integrated in all facets of nursing home dementia care. There is a strong evidence that person centred care may alleviate both the resident and the staff problems.
