Abstract

This study aims to present practical suggestions for patients and family members of early stage dementia patients to make their daily life easier. Reorganization of the changing daily life, cooping with behavioural problems and suggestions for living independently was discussed accordingly. It is necessary to raise an awareness of the family members to support patient’s independence for as long as possible and to support the autonomy of the patient and encourage them to manage the possible risks for the patient and themselves. In this sense, it is expected that the use of the practical knowledge, providing new service concepts for different needs would positively affect the quality and satisfaction of their life.
