A family-led vision of what carers of people with dementia need and
want to know. Supporting families and carers in their day-to-day
life with dementia, this unique resource combines real stories from
families with expert responses and advice for specific issues and
concerns. This resource is based on the real stories and real
questions brought to the Admiral Nurse Dementia Helpline, peer
support groups and clinical networks. Including questions around
diagnosis, peer support, balancing risks, care transitions and end
of life planning, the chapters are devised to support you, and give
you the tools to live better, when dementia enters your life.
Care home workers increasingly work with people nearing the end of
their lives, including people with medically complex conditions.
However, many do not have a medical background and find that
practical advice on how to address these people's very specific
needs is scarce. In this book, Christine Reddall draws on almost
four decades of nursing experience to create a clear and
easy-to-read handbook primarily for workers caring for the dying in
care homes, but which will also be of interest to family members
caring for relatives with life-threatening conditions.'This is a
resource book to provide information on palliative care. It is
designed primarily to help carers who work in care homes of all
categories. To my knowledge, this is the first book written solely
for carers working in care homes that addresses the issues of
caring for someone with palliative care needs. However, people with
whom I have spoken to about this book, or who have read parts of
it, have all said that it would also be a helpful resource to
non-professional family carers who care for a family member in
their own home. The style of this book is designed to be readable
by all levels of carers, and I have endeavoured to keep the
language and text as 'non-medical' as possible. I have tried to put
myself in the shoes of carers, especially those without medical
training, and think of what they want to know when caring for
someone with a life threatening illness' - Christine Reddall in her
Preface.
