Emergency situations can be reduced to a great extent for dementia patients by getting involved in awareness therapy post diagnosis, managing comorbid conditions by maintaining regular contact with medical and mental health professionals, caregiver education and support through individual or family therapy, and establishing constructive family communication through family therapy. In addition, the home nursing staff, in case of home care services, could be equipped with the psychological, physical, and environmental needs of the dementia patient, or the patient could be institutionalized in a rehabilitation facility which has constant supervision and professional support.
