The paper summarizes current approaches to the comprehensive rehabilitation of elderly people with senile dementia. It examines medical, cognitive, psychological and social interventions aimed at maintaining quality of life, slowing the progression of cognitive decline and reducing caregiver burden. Special attention is given to multidisciplinary care models involving physicians, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, and social workers. Cognitive training, nutrition and sleep correction, fall prevention and sarcopenia management, as well as family respite services, are discussed. Based on international and Russian practices, key effectiveness indicators are identified, including MoCA/MMSE, GDS, daily activity scales, reduced hospital readmissions and caregiver stress levels. The paper also outlines recommendations for improving regional long-term care and geriatric support systems.
