Gustafsdottir (2011) studied care programmes carried out by three day care centres for the elderly with dementia in Iceland. Iceland had the Iceland Act on Care for the Elderly for day care centres to abide by. “Day care for the elderly (belongs to open care for the elderly) is a support measure for those who require constant supervision and care to be able to continue living at home. Day care for the elderly should include nursing care. It should also provide transport to and from the individual’s home, health assessment, training, leisure activities, social support, education, consultation, and assistance with the activities of daily living”.
