New Ways for Better Days: Tailoring Activities for Persons with Dementia and Caregivers

New Ways for Better Days is an individualized, family-centric program. It provides people with dementia with activities that are tailored to their abilities and interests and trains caregivers (formal and informal) in use of activities as part of daily care routines.

The program has been shown in randomized trials to improve quality of life of persons with dementia, and reduce behavioral symptoms and caregiver time providing care as well as improving engagement and caregiver sense of efficacy.
