- Abstract
Supported decision-making is a new concept gaining recognition and acceptance as an alternative to guardianship, and is emblematic of the shift from surrogate decision-making to individuals making their own decisions with supports and services of their choosing. Until now, this concept has primarily taken hold in the disability rights community. This article considers the feasibility and merits of implementing supported decision-making for older adults with age-related cognitive decline, including dementia.
