Music is important to us as a species, and it can be particularly
important to people with dementia. Singing in a group can improve a
person's mood, recall, self-esteem and overall quality of life.
Whether you're a trained musician or someone who has no training
but can hold a tune (and that is almost everyone), this book will
give you guidance on every stage of setting up a singing group for
people with dementia: choosing songs, structuring sessions,
choosing and setting up a venue, training volunteers, finding
funding, keeping participants safe and ensuring that everyone has a
good time.
Understanding Learning Disability and Dementia covers all the
essential issues in supporting a person with a learning disability
when they develop dementia. Like the population at large, people
with learning disabilities are living longer, and therefore an
increasing number are developing dementia. Service providers,
planners, doctors, social workers, carers and direct support staff
need to be equipped with relevant knowledge prior to the onset of
dementia, so that they can devise appropriate therapeutic
interventions and coping strategies, including health and
medication management and palliative care. This book will provide
essential knowledge for anyone involved in the provision of
services, assessment of need and direct care and support for
dementia sufferers who also have a learning disability.
