Purpose of the Behavioural Support System Guidelines: Stakeholders from 11 provinces and territories across Canada have contributed to these guidelines in order to provide a framework to support a quality, integrated system of care for older persons with cognitive impairment and changes in behaviour, and his or her caregiver. This includes but is not limited to, older adults with complex and responsive behaviours associated with cognitive impairments due to complex mental health, addictions, dementia, or other neurological conditions. This document will provide the planner, policy maker, provider and caregiver with recommended guidelines, and targeted areas to focus improvement strategies and measures of success that can be applied at national, provincial / territorial, regional, local or organizational levels.
