Social networks of neighbourhood inhabitants, residents of a care facility, and nursing staff: a case study in two long-term care facilities in the Netherlands
Although it may be difficult for residents with dementia to maintain their social networks as part of their illness, there are numerous ties that attest to the social roles of persons with dementia in the community. These ties can be used to provide person-centred care, but are also an important resource in finding and retaining personnel and volunteers.
