A Multicomponent Home-Based Intervention for Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in People With Dementia and Caregivers' Burden and Depression: A 6-Month Longitudinal Study.

Objectives: Many people with dementia live in their home and require ongoing care, which is often provided by informal family caregivers. Thus, we examined the effectiveness of a multicomponent home-based intervention by evaluating its impact on a) neuropsychiatric symptoms of people with dementia and b) burden and depression of their caregivers.

Methods: During the first 6 months of this prospective single-center study, we applied a home-based multicomponent intervention in 205 dyads of care-recipients and caregivers.
