Prosperity, hygiene, and medicine have nearly doubled the average life expectancy in just a few decades. The flip side of the coin: with age, the risk of developing dementia increases, leading to social isolation in the final phase of life.

Under what conditions does it take place? What societal, institutional, and individual-personal prerequisites are necessary for successful end-of-life care for people with dementia?.
