The British Columbia Care Providers Association developed a Best Practices Guide for Safely Reducing Anti-Psychotic Drug Use in Residential Care to ensure residential care homes are safe places to live and work.
The guide is organized into three parts: 1) an overview of facts and figures relating to dementia and anti-psychotic medication prescription rates, 2) strategy description for anti-psychotic drug reduction in seven long-term care facilities in BC that have been successful, and 3) a list of resources related to reduction of anti-psychotic medications for elderly with dementia in residential care.
