Assessing and Treating Clients with Dementia

The Assignment: Assessing and Treating Clients with Dementia   The Alzheimer's Association defines dementia as "a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life" (Alzheimer's Association, 2016). This term encompasses dozens of cognitive disorders of impaired memory formation, recall, and communication.
