Use of dietary supplements by individuals with dementia - the caregivers’ perspective
Caregivers were often involved in individuals with dementia's DS use and expressed a willingness to assume responsibility for ensuring safer use. However, several respondents were unaware of the general safety concerns related to DS use. Furthermore, communication with health care professionals regarding DS use, often failed to met the needs of these patients and their caregiver. Collectively, these conditions may impose a risk to individuals with dementia.
