*UVA ed U.O. del Dipartimento di Geriatria e Riabilitazione dell’Azienda ULSS 13 di Mirano (VE), sedi di Dolo, Mirano e Noale Advanced phases of dementia are perhaps the more critical area of interest and the less studied in the scientific and academic word and the scientific search in comparison to the initial phases of illness or to the diagnosis clinical pre that seem today the mostly interesting. These patients are orphan of therapeutic and relief resources and they burden on the care givers with the whole burden of mourning and increasing relief necessity that are typical of this phase of illness. It will need to devote time, financings and greater studies of close examination to the study of these phases and attempting to give a concrete support to the care givers in terms of “true” taken in assistencial burden.
