Many people with dementia (approximately 30%) live on their own; however, they are often underserved by dementia policy, practice, and research, especially with regard to interventions. This systematic review identified 13 non-pharmacological interventions evaluated for people with dementia who live alone. These interventions were grouped into five categories: home-based dementia case/care management (n = 4), technology (n = 3), social (n = 3), cognitive (n = 2), and psychological (n = 1).

Abstract The main aim of this scoping review was to understand how work-related quality of life (WRQoL) in adult social care has been defined and measured in the literature and to map key components of WRQoL among those working in adult social care and similar contexts. The scoping review included studies that: 1- focused on WRQoL/work-related wellbeing (and their synonyms); and 2- included adult social care or community health care.

Abstract People with dementia and their carers are a growing subgroup of people who use community-based social care. These services are designed to maintain people's quality of life while living at home. The ASCOT measure of social care-related quality of life (SCRQoL), designed to evaluate quality and effectiveness of social care, has been adapted for proxy-report when someone is unable to self-report. The ASCOT-Carer has been developed to measure carer's own SCRQoL.
