Ethics and Policy in Alzheimer’s Care focuses on the ethical and policy-related challenges in the care, treatment, and management of individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Addressing these issues is essential to create a dementia-friendly society that respects patient rights, ensures equitable access to care, and supports both caregivers and individuals with Alzheimer’s. Ethical considerations, including patient autonomy, informed consent, and end-of-life decisions, play a crucial role in care delivery and research. Meanwhile, policies shape the landscape of Alzheimer’s care through funding, public health strategies, and legislative measures.
