I want to ask you some questions about your quality of life and have you rate different aspects of your life using one of four words: poor,fair,good,or excellent. Point to each word (poor,fair,good,and excellent) on the form as you say it.

Measuring quality of life (QOL) is proposed as one method of doing this. QOL is an important consideration in AD because of the devastating impact of this currently incurable disease on patients and caregivers.

The officially distributed QOL-AD questionnaire includes 2 versions in the same document: - patient interviewer-administered version - caregiver-administered version (family) A modified version also exists: QOL-AD-NH for people in residential settings.

Utilization of QOL-AD in clinical practice facilitates a user-centred and collaborative approach to the assessment of quality of life. This approach is in keeping with contemporaneous forces in health and social care delivery for people with dementia.
