End-Stage Dementia Care - A Basic Guide (Hardcover)

People with mid-stage dementia are served by special care units in
long-term care facilities, although as these residents deteriorate,
they are transferred out of the unit and into a general nursing
home unit. These nursing homes are not equipped to deal with
palliative needs of end-stage dementia care. The book addresses
those needs. With this in mind, Part One examines the stages of
dementia (end-stage in particular). Other chapters in this section
provide background on the hospice movement and hospice concepts;
the idea of maintaining personhood; and administration of a
late-stage care unit. Part Two focuses on treatment approaches for
common needs in end-stage dementia - medical and physical care; a
supportive environment; the fundamentals of care;
psychopharmacology; and therapeutic activities. Part 3 contains
chapters on family-centred care; legal and ethical issues;
programme evaluation; and future opportunities.
