Sudden demographic changes increasingly emphasize the problems of care for a growing population of elderly people, who often suffer from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. That is why new forms of care are being studied that would be of the highest quality for the patients and their caregivers. Since most forms of dementia are incurable, the goal of the treatment is to delay the progression of the disease and maintain function and quality of life. Therefore, there is a need for non-traditional approaches such as creative methods, for slowing down AD and putting the symptoms under control. In this paper, systematization concludes that the use of creative methods in working with people with Alzheimer's disease has many benefits such as reduction of behavioral symptoms, increased self-esteem, better communication, socialization, reduced caregiver burden, etc. Personality and identity that are greatly diminished by AD, can be preserved by using creative methods which is the goal of person-centered care. This paper gives an overview of creative methods (art, music therapy, dance and movement therapy, reminiscence, bibliotherapy, technology interventions) and their effects. Finally, special emphasis was placed on the position of the caregivers, the role and challenges of social work in this area, and suggestions for improving the practice.
