Title: Improving Decision Making About Feeding Options for Dementia
Brief Summary: This study is a randomized trial to test whether a decision aid can help to improve the quality of decision making about feeding options in care of patients with dementia.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \> 65
* A diagnosis of dementia (any type)
* Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) score of 7
* Nursing home length of stay \> 30 days
* Proxy is available who can speak in English
* Proxy must either live within a 60 mile radius of Boston or be available to come to the residents nursing home within 2 weeks of recruitment in order to conduct the in-person baseline interview.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Residents with cognitive impairment due to causes other than dementia (e.g. head trauma) and in short-term, sub-acute SNFs will be excluded
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Ambulatory patients aged \>/= 50 years
* Diagnostic evidence of probable Alzheimer's disease consistent with criteria from the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke-Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR)
* Confirmatory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomographic (CT) scan within the prior 12 months.
* Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores \>/= 3 and \</= 14 at Screening (Visit 1) and Baseline (Visit 2)
* Ongoing daily acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) therapy at a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to Screening (Visit 1). It is preferred that patients continue to receive the same AChEI therapy for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with a modified Hachinski Ischemia Score greater than 4 at Screening.
* Patients who have taken memantine within one month of Screening (Visit 1)
* Patients who have a known hypersensitivity to memantine, neramexane, rimantadine, or amantadine.
* Patients whose AChEI therapy is likely to be interrupted or discontinued during the course of the study.
* Patients who are receiving therapy with more than one AChEI.
* Patients with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of hydrocephalus, stroke, a space-occupying lesion, cerebral infection, or any clinically significant central nervous system disease other than Alzheimer's disease.
* Patients with a DSM-IV Axis I disorder other than Alzheimer's disease, including amnestic disorders, schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, current major depressive episode, psychosis, panic, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
* Patients who, in the clinician's judgement, are likely to be placed in a nursing home within the next 6 months.

D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of Alzheimer's type dementia, rated as severe

* ability to be mobile (aided or unaided) with sufficient vision and hearing to comply with testing.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Dementia caused by cerebrovascular disease
* disturbances of consciousness, delirium, psychosis
* severe aphasia
* or major sensorimotor impairment
