&NA;The unifying goal of psychosocial interventions in nursing homes is to enhance quality of life. The paths taken to arrive at this goal are diverse and reflect the complex nature of providing care to persons with dementia. Some types of interventions have been rigorously studied, whereas others are compelling because of anecdotal reports of their efficacy. The authors provide examples of programs across the spectrum of care that fall into four general categories: (1) programs that focus on individualization of care; (2) programs designed to promote functional independence; (3) programs that utilize “technology;” and (4) programs that utilize alternative therapies.
