Managing people with dementia: CADE units.
In this, the last article in our series on caring for people with dementia in acute units, we depart from our accustomed format and offer an example of excellence in long-stay care. The author describes the philosophy and functioning of a CADE unit in Australia, which typifies what appropriate care of people with dementia is, and demonstrates how careful planning and thoughtful interventions can create an environment in which residents, family and staff can develop.
