Short summary
Quality of life (QoL) in nursing home residents with young-onset dementia (YOD) is negatively linked to advanced dementia, psychotropic drug use (PDU), and neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS). While these determinants generally affect QoL similarly across dementia subtypes, specific QoL aspects differ, with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) residents showing better emotional well-being, acceptance of help, and environmental comfort but poorer social relationships.
