During the transition of people with dementia from home to nursing home, family carers are at increased risk of becoming burdened, stressed, having sleep disturbances, depression and other health complications [1]. From the carers’ point of view, problems become apparent due to being unprepared for the transition period, having limited support, being uninformed about care alternatives or financial options, and due to a lack of knowledge about dementia [2]. The transition from their home into a nursing home is an experience for people with dementia as well, representing loss of their home, neighborhood and time with family and friends; behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms often increase [3].
