To supervise activities for patients with frontotemporal dementias presents major challenges to day programs typically equipped to care for more elderly, frail patients. In this article, we present the development and immediate outcomes of integrating a day program specialized for patients with frontal lobe disturbances into an already established day program. Planning required new collaborations between the ambulatory memory clinic and the day program staff. Immediate outcomes have included relief of burden for an under-served group of caregivers and behavioral management that more seamlessly combines strategies for medication titration, environmental adjustments, and activity participation.
对额颞叶痴呆患者的活动进行监督，给通常配备用于照顾更多老年体弱患者的日间项目带来了重大挑战。在本文中，我们介绍了将一个专门为额叶功能障碍患者设立的日间项目整合到一个已有的日间项目中的发展情况及直接成果。规划需要门诊记忆诊所和日间项目工作人员之间建立新的合作关系。直接成果包括减轻了服务不足的护理人员群体的负担，以及行为管理，这种管理更无缝地结合了药物滴定、环境调整和活动参与的策略。
