Living Alone with Dementia: Prevalence, Correlates and the Utilization of Health and Nursing Care Services

Abstract

Our results reveal the high proportion of PWD living alone in Germany. PWD living alone did not seem to be at an increased health risk. Our findings indicate that living alone with dementia is possible. In order to ensure the sufficient provision of health and nursing care services for PWD living alone, providers should consider the present results for future planning.
