This practice and training guide is written with the needs of
health and social care professionals working with people with
dementia in mind. Drawing together theoretical considerations and
examples of good practice, the authors look at the different stages
of dementia and explain how to: * make the initial diagnosis -
including guidelines for distinguishing dementia from depression; *
convey the diagnosis to the person with dementia and their family -
outlining the use of cognitive tests and the role of anti-dementia
drugs; * support the client through lifestyle adjustments; * care
for end-stage dementia patients - looking for example at the choice
between community or institutional care. The book is illustrated
with case studies and includes a chapter on understanding and
responding to the needs of the carer - such as access to
information and support - and the effect on their own health.
Outlining the shared knowledge base required by health and social
care practitioners, this useful and accessible work book will also
facilitate inter-disciplinary and inter-agency working.
