A systematic review of observational studies of adult home care
I don't do like I used to do: A grounded theory approach to conceptualising awareness in people with moderate to severe dementia living in long-term care
Enabling frail older people with a communication difficulty to express their views: The use of Talking Matstm as an interview tool

To date the medical model has dominated dementia rese…
