Among the elders referred to a physicianin a metropolitan city by visiting nurses, 42.4% were diagnosed as mild cognitive impairment and 15.2% werediagnosed as severe dementia. The major intervention programs which visiting nurses currently applied for elderswere medication and exercise intervention programs, and the intervention programs which they would want toapply in the future were playing, music and recall intervention programs.
