概要	A facial care program (FCP: a lifestyle program of skin care with lotion and emulsion twice a day) was continued for 9 elderly female dementia patients (average age 86 years) living in a group home. The frontal lobe function test (FAB), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), index of motivation, and frequency of occurrence of dusk syndrome were compared at 1 month and 24 months after the start of the program. In a previous study, the researchers reported improvement in these measures at 1 month after initiation. At 1 and 24 months after initiation, the motor items of the FIM showed a decreasing trend, but the cognitive items of the FAB and FIM were maintained, and there was a trend toward improvement in motivation and in the frequency of occurrence of dusk syndrome. The maintenance of these functions over 2 years in elderly dementia patients with an average age of 86 years suggests the effectiveness of FCP for elderly women with dementia living in group homes.
