In reviewing the evidence regarding the ability of psychosocial interventions to improve QOL for individuals with dementia, we found support for a variety of approaches that targeted 1 or more QOL-related outcomes. Interventions using behavior therapy, caregiver education, and environmental modifications can decrease depression and behavioral disturbances and increase pleasant events. Occupational therapy interventions can help preserve day-to-day functioning and promote participation in appropriate and meaningful activities. Physical activity or exercise programs can help maintain mobility, improve mood, and decrease behavioral disturbances. Cognitive stimulation can improve memory, problem solving, and mood, and decrease behavioral disturbances.
