Items related to Dementia Care: A Handbook for Residential and Day Care
This revised edition stresses a more holistic approach to the support of people with dementia: in essence, dementia, as an illness, does not rob the person of the influence of their past life. There is now a greater understanding of the experience of dementia for individuals and its impact on families and partners, and working with people with dementia can be challenging. Topics include: The individual and their previous lifestyle; Approaches to the person; What is dementia and what is not?; Health matters; Behaviour as a response to the living environment; Behaviour as a response to the daily routine and staff actions; Dilemmas and challenges; Feelings of loss, pain and palliative care; Issues for day care; and Staff teamwork. There are suggested training exercises linked to case studies, which are contained at the end of each chapter.
