An Alzheimer's Disease Bill of Rights

Virginia Marsh Bell, MSW

New trends in Alzheimers disease research, treatment, and care suggest that the 1980's emphasis on caregivers will shift to a greater focus in the 1990's on the individual with dementia. A 12-point Alzheimer's disease Bill of Rights is proposed to serve as a touchstone for families, professionals, and in some cases those with the disease to evaluate quality of care. The authors note that the rights are not absolute and must be applied in the context of each individual's cognitive abilities and medical situation.
