This exploratory study investigates caregivers' perceptions of communication used in dementia-specific community residential facilities. Results of interviews with caregivers indicated that caregivers perceptions used several communication strategies that are advocated in the literature, but that they also employed creative techniques that have not been previously emphasised. Discusses how future research can be used to verify these communication tactics.
