Literature Review Key Findings
Findings • Advanced dementia under recognised with no
overall common description in the literature• Palliare care needs range from months to
years (most commonly for 4-5 years, but for some people up to 10 years).
• Tendency to focus on end of life and dying aspects of palliative care.
• More work needed to develop new evidence informed dementia specific palliative care models – Dementia Palliare
Aim Understanding dementia care & family care associated with extended palliative care stage of the illness

A challenge to provide care if not well understood.
Shift the focus – live the best life possible.
Dementia Palliare – positive integrated practice approach to support the person with advanced dementia, who is not yet requiring end of life care.
Dementia Palliare is about achieving best practice and delivering the highest possible quality of advanced dementia care.

A new narrative
![Page 8: Debbie Tolson](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081503/58a8c53a1a28ab53138b5301/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What we learned from 22 case studies, 7 countries
Experiences of the quality of advanced dementia care are influenced by:-
• Continuity of evidence - informed care planning• Practice model and dementia friendly environment• Availability of dementia skilled to expert practitioners • Practice focus on comfort, safety, rest and sleep• Opportunities for social connections and meaningful dignified activities• Communication between staff and family• Family sense of support and opportunities to feel in partnership with staff.

Educational Perspectives

Advanced Dementia Education: Gap Analysis
Very limited provision of education to equip practitioners to deliver high quality advanced dementia care- to address this, we need:-
• to understand the evidence base for best practice
• an advanced dementia practice model • practitioner education to strengthen
‘Palliare care confidence and capability’• tailored family carer education
