Extract

Behavioral symptoms in people with Alzheimer's and other diseases and conditions that cause dementia are important because they imply distress and because they are likely to have negative consequences for the person, his or her family, and other informal and formal (paid) caregivers who work with the person in any setting. In nursing homes and other residential care facilities, the behavioral symptoms of people with dementia are also likely to have negative consequences for other residents who live in close proximity to demented individuals.
