With contributions from experienced dementia practitioners and care
researchers, this book examines the impact of culture and ethnicity
on the experience of dementia and on the provision of support and
services, both in general terms and in relation to specific
minority ethnic communities. Drawing together evidence-based
research and expert practitioners' experiences, this book
highlights the ways that dementia care services will need to
develop in order to ensure that provision is culturally appropriate
for an increasingly diverse older population. The book examines
cultural issues in terms of assessment and engagement with people
with dementia, challenges for care homes, and issues for supporting
families from diverse ethnic backgrounds in relation to planning
end of life care and bereavement. First-hand accounts of living
with dementia from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds give
unique perspectives into different attitudes to dementia and
dementia care. The contributors also examine recent policy and
strategy on dementia care and the implications for working with
culture and ethnicity. This comprehensive and timely book is
essential reading for dementia care practitioners, researchers and
policy makers.
