Annotation	Research has shown how understanding of the subjective experience of dementia can improve care practice and increase therapeutic possibilities. It has also highlighted the need for better ways to assess the well-being of people with dementia, particularly those with severe dementia. In response to this research, the Positive Response Schedule for Severe Dementia (PRS) was designed. This study used PRS to assess the impact of short, individualised interventions on the well-being of two older adults diagnosed as having severe dementia. The effectiveness of the interventions is evaluated and the potential utility of the PRS discussed. (AKM).
