Improve Dementia Care and Reduce Unnecessary Use
of Antipsychotic Medications in Your Facility
Tools you can use today!
More than half of nursing facility residents have some form
of dementia, many of whom experience behavioral and
psychological symptoms. These behaviors can pose signifi-
cant challenges for the staff and residents. Over 25% of
patients in nursing facilities in the United States receive
antipsychotic medications, and while these drugs have many
legitimate uses, they are often used inappropriately in nurs-
ing facilities to treat behavioral disorders associated with
dementia.
