Approach to a patient with dementia in palliative care

In the paper we highlight the importance of adequate access to the person with dementia in palliative care, focusing on using the latest knowledge based on Naomi Feil validation to help us understand the patient‘s behavior, thereby improving the interaction of relatives and staff with him. In addition, we define the essential aspects of the disease for both the ill and his loved ones.
