(CAS) Dementia represents a significant public health challenge related to population aging, being one of the main causes of disability and dependency. According to WHO data, in 2015 Alzheimer's disease and other dementias affected 47 million people worldwide, and this number is estimated to double in the next 20 years. Disease-centered care often leads to referrals to hospitals in end-of-life situations, increasing the risk of artificial nutrition, intensive treatments, and costs, while also decreasing family satisfaction and underutilizing palliative care resources. A different approach, with a person-centered care model that seeks maximum well-being and comfort, along with adequate support and information for the family, is possible through advanced care planning. This involves assessing the person's current needs and taking into account their values ​​and preferences. This webinar series presents comprehensive care for people with advanced dementia from various perspectives.
