NY Times article entitled "Dusk-to-Dawn Therapy for Dementia's Restless Minds." The article is about a non-traditional day-care program that occurs at night for those individuals with dementia who have sundowning. The program is sponsored by the Hebrew Home at Riverdale in NY and is a one-of-a-kind program in the United States. What would it take to get other healthcare facilities to provide this type of care? How would one empirically evaluate the effectiveness of programs like this one? Would you want your family member to have this type of care?
