A variety of behavioral and psychological symptoms are inherent to dementia, such as delusional thinking, hallucinations, agitation, violent behavior, verbal outbursts, wandering, sleep disturbances, and sexually inappropriate behavior (Jackson et al., 1989; Reisberg et al., 1987; Teri et al., 1992; Yeager et al., 1995). Although opinions in the literature differ concerning behavioral problems and how they relate to caregiver burden and institutionalization (Martinson et al., 1995; Mega et al., 1996; Reisberg et al., 1987), this analysis focuses on their role in increasing the level of care once the patient is placed in permanent residential care.
