One chapter in the guideline covers the post-diagnostic supports for people with dementia and their family carers (Chapter 5). Primary care providers should provide individualised management plan to address the changing needs at different stages of dementia, which usually follow a slow deterioration and a functional dependency along the journey of dementia care from diagnosis to end-of-life (Department of Health, 2017b, p. 33).
