Abstract


Dementia is the leading cause of dependency and disability among older individuals (World Health Organization, 2012). While the reablement approach is increasingly being integrated in aged care, this has not been taken up in dementia care to the same extent (or at least, the take-up has not been documented). Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to show the possibilities for providing reablement for individuals living with dementia. We will describe how individuals living with dementia can benefit from reablement and some of the possibilities and challenges in providing reablement to this user group.
