Paliative Dementia

About Palliative Dementia Care Resources

Palliative Dementia Care Resources (PDCR) was established in 2006 to provide resources and information to help people make decisions about end-of-life care and services for individuals with dementia. We are committed to advancing quality end-of-life care for individuals with advancing dementia and serving as a resource for family and professional caregivers. Created by Polisher Research Institute and funded by the Farber Family Foundation, PDCR guides professional and family caregivers to news, educational materials, and organizations related to palliative care for individuals living with advanced dementia. On this site, we publish modern research in the field of psychological and social care for seriously ill patients who require special care. We also order articles online and share hard-to-find information on aspects of current dementia diagnosis, prevalence statistics, cognitive and behavioral disorders such as memory, regulatory functions, visuospatial functions, language, personality, and behavior. In addition, we provide a forum in which family and professional caregivers exchange views, identify needs and possible solutions.

Created by Polisher Research Institute at the Madlyn and Leonard Abramson Center for Jewish Life.
