Living with Dementia: A practical guide for families and personal
carers provides a sensitive, direct and highly accessible insight
into the complexities and challenges that a diagnosis of dementia
presents. Contributors represent academics, practicing nurses, aged
care professionals and family advocates. Living with Dementia
offers evidence-based research, supported by clear learning
outcomes and key terms, real-world vignettes and practical
strategies to support caregivers, paid and unpaid, whether in the
home or in residential care settings. Practical advice on how to
manage everyday activities, including feeding, toileting, bathing
and dressing, and how to cope with challenging behaviour is
provided. The importance of recognising the needs of the whole
person and providing for mental stimulation and spirituality are
also addressed. A basic understanding of standard medical
approaches is offset by an appreciation of complementary therapies,
and the role of communication, care for the dying, as well as
self-care, are fundamental to this concise yet far-reaching guide.
Whether caring for a loved one, or working within the aged care
sector, Living with Dementia will assist you to move beyond the
negative perceptions, and enable a meaningful life for the person
with dementia, within the limitations of the disease. Key points:
each chapter includes keywords and chapter outcomes; includes
practical tips and advice; contains evidence- and research-based
information; written in a clear, reader-friendly style for a
general market
