No single model exists for working with families of older adults. Clinicians need to provide both patients and families with person- and family-centered assessment and treatment, taking into account issues of context, diversity, and heterogeneity. Despite the need for family-specific treatment, there are patterns of family issues that consistently emerge based on trajectories of psychiatric illness. Perhaps the most specific guidance in the literature comes from meta-analyses and reviews of clinical research on families of older adults with progressive degenerative dementias (Adelman et al. 2014; Gallagher-Thompson and Coon 2007; Gillick 2013; Pinquart and Sörensen 2006b; Reinhard et al. 2012; Weimer and Sager 2009).
