Fairhill guidelines on ethics of the care of people with Alzheimer's disease: a clinical summary. Center for Biomedical Ethics, Case Western Reserve University and the Alzheimer's Association
Abstract
These guidelines summarize the content of meetings of family caregivers and individuals with dementia of the Alzheimer's type who identified and spoke on ethical issues in dementia care and who engaged in dialogue with an interdisciplinary and interprofessional group of individuals working in the field of Alzheimer's disease. This inductive method begins with attentive listening to the voices of the affected population and family members, in contrast with a theoretical and deductive approach to ethics.
