Risks and risk mitigation in homecare for people with dementia-A two-sided matter: A systematic review.

Policy guidance promotes supporting people to live in their own homes for as long as possible with support from homecare services. People living with dementia who need such support can experience a range of physical and cognitive difficulties, which can increase the risks associated with homecare for this group. We aimed to examine risk and safety issues for people with dementia and their homecare workers and risk mitigation practices adopted by homecare workers to address identified risks.
