A Montessori Approach to Dementia Related, Non-Residential Respite Services: Preliminary results

Andrew will outline the design of the Southern Cross University Montessori research project, a study which aims to compare a Montessori-based approach to community respite care, with a ‘care as usual’ control. It will discuss the project and review some of the early findings and highlight some of the potential implications for people living in the community with dementia, their caregivers, and the staff who work with them.
