Add to basketPaperback. This wide-ranging book takes a person-centred approach to supporting the person and their families/carers to live with dementia and challenge the stigma attached to the condition. Divided into four parts, it starts with the voices of people with dementia themselves, as they describe their own experience and how they are living with the disease. It moves on to look at how the range of caring and support professions can help people living with dementia and their families plan and prepare for and cope better with their deteriorating condition. It then turns to practical aspects of living with dementia - dementia in the workplace, communication, safety and the role of technology and design in prolonging independence - and day-to-day considerations, such as managing insomnia and eating well. It ends with an inspiring section on the many imaginative ways people with dementia can be helped to discover and continue to enjoy cultural and creative activities that celebrate their lives and promote their abilities. This wide-ranging book takes a person-centred approach to supporting the person and their families/carers to live with dementia and seeks to challenge the stigma attached to the condition. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
