Abstract
  • Residents with dementia that demonstrate behavioral symptoms are highly prevalent in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), particularly in memory care units. With the use of individualized activities, the Tailoring Activities for Persons with Dementia (TAP) program provides a non-pharmacological approach to reducing behaviors and decreasing caregiver burden for persons with dementia. TAP is primarily used in homes, but it was adapted for use in the memory care at Hamilton Trace Family-First Senior Living with five residents. TAP demonstrated great success in reducing and preventing behavioral symptoms in the residents. TAP principles were used to create resources to benefit all current and future residents by individualizing their care and improving their quality of life. The staff indicated high usefulness and likelihood to utilize the resources in the future. The positive results of this project indicate a promising non-pharmacological intervention to improve the quality of life of residents and staff in memory care units.
