Abstract
- Highlights: [•] An early dementia diagnosis offers caregivers the opportunity to advance the process of adaptation to the caregiver role. [•] Caregivers that are able to adapt to the changes that characterize dementia, feel more competent to care and experience less psychological problems. [•] Multicomponent caregiver interventions in the mild to moderate dementia stages are effective to improve caregiver well-being and delay institutionalization. [•] Offering caregiver interventions in the predementia stage asks for different approaches with different tasks to cope with. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
