Abstract
According to the Alzheimer’s Association (2012), one in eight older adults has Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and by 2050, someone will develop AD every 33 seconds doubling the current number of people suffering from AD. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the impact of an end-of-life educational module on nursing home staff perceptions of end-stage dementia care. End-of-life education may improve the quality of care for nursing home residents with advanced dementia.
