Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:

There is a wealth of research that indicates challenges in providing safety in the home and individuals suffering from dementia.  The background literature review sites a wide range of sources, including research dating back to the 1980s in addition to research published in the 21st-century. Much of the literature indicating  a problem and outlining the main issues, such as safety provisions in terms of wondering, falls and household accidents such as burns or fires, appears to have been well established  in literature for a number of decades. The authors give the impression from the information that is presented that it is the later research, building on earlier research, that considers
