CRD SUMMARY:

This review found coping strategy-based family carer interventions and tailored activities improved quality of life for the person with dementia living at home. There was a lack of definitive evidence for interventions to increase quality of life of people with dementia and further research was recommended. Despite some limitations in the review conduct, this recommendation appears to be appropriate.
