incidence of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily living

total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of
L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L L
reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health

care system. The family is expected to be part of the decision-making process.
