EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Dementia is a very widespread problem in the modern society and a significant percentage of
elderly people suffer from it. This report aims to shed light on how social and motivational
issues hinder the care of the dementia patients by affecting their caregivers. Social support
and motivation is of huge importance among the caregivers of dementia patients and they
often feel physically and mentally exhausted while caring for such patients. Social support
and psychological interventions may be extremely helpful for the caregivers. Providing
interventions to the dementia patients such as computer-based robots are also very helpful in
caring for the patients and lowering the burden of the caregivers.
