The study focused on over 179 people in Ohio who worked in the health care field (Moore, Patterson, Nair, Oliver, brown, Keating & Riva 2015). The study used a questionnaire to look into the steps they were taking to ensure elderly patients were receiving the proper care. On this questionnaire they listed forty-one care issues that that are common among elderly patients. The study found that most primary care providers were capable of dealing with patients with dementia. The need for proper care for elderly adults is a growing concern. As this population continues to grow it is important for everyone involved in the health care field to know how to properly care for these individuals. The better care that is provided for these individuals can lead to a better quality of life in the long
