Abstract

Aims: Non-pharmacological interventions for dementia are gaining in popularity but require further scrutiny to identify the ideal conditions for their implementation in long-term care (LTC). The present scoping review maps the current literature concerning the implementation of cognitive interventions for persons with dementia in LTC.

Methods: A scoping review methodology was employed, which included a search of the peer-reviewed literature (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO).

Results: From the 28 articles included in the review, six areas were explored: (a) characteristics of participants; (b) potential benefits; (c) staff considerations; (d) cost-effectiveness; (e) delivery format; and (f) barriers to implementation.

Conclusions: Findings from this review provide suggestions to support the implementation of cognitive interventions in LTC settings, which likely have promising benefits to LTC residents. Further research is needed to demonstrate their efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
