%X A 10-subscale version of the Community Competence Scale, a structured interview, and the Scale of Competency in Independent Living Skills, a rating scale completed by a relative, were administered to 40 geriatric patients with suspected dementia. While the two assessments of competence appear to examine a common global domain, individual correlations between subscales of the two measures were only moderate. The findings provide limited support for the construct of competence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
