Advanced dementia is a terminal condition; however, research has revealed that affected individuals are subjected to multiple intrusive and burdensome interventions. Individuals with advance dementia require palliative care long before their death. This article reviews selected approaches that support personhood, explain behavior management principles, assure meaningful connections for activities of daily living, minimize weight loss, and explain advance directives and medical management best practices in palliative care for advanced dementia.
