Abstract: Palliative Dementia Care Resources was established to provide an online resource of information to help people make decisions about end-of-life care and services for individuals with dementia. The website guides professional and family caregivers to news, educational materials, and organizations related to palliative care. In order to be responsive to the needs of caregivers in managing life's changes, preparing for life's end, and coping with grief and loss, the content is focused on those topics that are often most pressing. An up-to-date listing of conferences and special events is available in addition to a forum in which family and professional caregivers exchange views, identify needs and possible solutions.
