This book brings together the key findings of all eight work
programmes that made up the ESRC/NIHR Neighbourhoods and Dementia
study. The five-year study began and was funded under action point
12 of the first Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia in 2012
and was administered by the Economic and Social Research Council
(ESRC), with the award was administered jointly with the National
Institute for Health Research (NIHR). At the time, the
Neighbourhoods study was one of the largest social science projects
ever funded in the UK and involved collaborations between sites in
England, Scotland, and Sweden, led by the University of Manchester.
The study was concerned with better understanding how people with
dementia navigated and interacted with their neighbourhood on an
everyday basis. At the start, our definition of a neighbourhood was
initially tied into work of Tim Blackman and his statement in 2006
that ‘neighbourhoods are more or less where we feel in control of
the surroundings in which we live’. John Keady has a
long-standing practice and academic career in the dementia studies
field having published his first article in 1991 and completed his
PhD in dementia studies in 1999. He has been involved in over 150
peer-reviewed articles since this time and has been editor,
co-editor, or co-author on 10 books and has contributed to over 65
book chapters.
Participatory Case Study Work shows academic co-researchers how to
adapt and implement their methods so that data collection and
analysis is authentically participatory. At the heart of this text
is advocating a participatory approach to case study work, with
co-construction as a catalyst for shared understanding and action
in advancing ageing studies. Whilst case study research has a
relatively long tradition in the canon of research methodologies,
little attention has so far been paid to the importance and value
of participatory case study work. This is surprising as its
egalitarian and democratic value-base naturally lends itself to the
co-production and co-creation of personal and collective theory
drawn directly from lived experience. The book brings together over
15 years' worth of participatory case study work in ageing studies
in which the editors have been actively involved as either
front-line researchers or as supervisors to PhD and MPhil studies
adopting the methodology, and from where each of the contributors
is selected. Real-life case examples are shared in the main
chapters of the book and they provide direction as to how learning
can be applied to other settings. The chapters also contain key
references and recommended reading. This volume will appeal to
undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as postdoctoral
researchers interested in fields such as research methods,
qualitative methods, ageing studies and mental health studies.
The mental health needs of older people are all too often
overlooked or put down to the inevitable consequences of ageing.
This textbook will make it much easier for health, social care and
third sector workers to identify, treat and support the needs of
this population. The book takes an interdisciplinary team approach
and sets the scene by looking at different practice contexts in the
United Kingdom and the increasingly important role played by social
care in addressing the mental health needs of older people. A
number of more clinically focused chapters then cover: *mental
health promotion *anxiety and depression *ageing and psychosis
*alcohol and dual diagnosis *dementia *later life liaison services
*complex and enduring mood disorders. Each clinical chapter makes
use of extended and detailed case studies which illuminate the
team's role in the assessment- intervention-evaluation cycle and
ensure the text's application to practice. Service user and family
perspectives are drawn on throughout and current practice exemplars
outlined. The final chapter distils key messages from the book and
sets a number of key challenges. Mental Health and Later Life
highlights the rewards and complexity of working with older people
with mental health needs and their families. It is invaluable
reading for all those learning about, or working with, this
population.
There were an estimated 50 million people worldwide living with
dementia in 2017 and this number will almost double every 20 years,
reaching 82 million in 2030. Design has significant potential to
contribute to managing this global concern. This book is the first
to synthesise the considerable research and projects in dementia
and design. Design interactions is a new way of considering how we
can improve the relationship between people, products, places and
services and of course technology trends, such as the 'internet of
things', offer great opportunities in providing new ways to connect
people with services and products that can contribute to healthier
lifestyles and mechanisms to support people with acute and chronic
conditions. In light of this, the book explores the contribution
and future potential of design for dementia through the lens of
design interactions, such as people, contexts, material and things.
Design for People Living with Dementia is a guide to this
innovative and cutting-edge field in healthcare. This book is
essential reading for healthcare managers working to provide
products, services and care to people with dementia, as well as
design researchers and students. .

Traditionally, the most preferred social research methods in
dementia studies have been interviews, focus groups and
non-participant observations. Most of these methods have been used
for a long time by researchers in other social research fields, but
their application to the field of dementia studies is a relatively
new phenomenon. A ground-breaking book, Social Research Methods in
Dementia Studies shows researchers how to adapt their methods of
data collection to address the individual needs of someone who is
living with dementia. With an editorial team that includes Ann
Johnson, a trained nurse and person living with dementia, this
enlightening volume mainly draws its contents from two
interdisciplinary social research teams in dementia, namely the
Center for Dementia Research [CEDER] at Linkoeping University in
Norrkoeping, Sweden and the Dementia and Ageing Research Team
[DART] at The University of Manchester in Manchester, UK. Case
examples are shared in each of the main chapters to help ground the
social research method(s) in a real-life context and provide
direction as to how learning can be applied to other settings.
Chapters also contain key references and recommended reading. This
volume will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as
well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as:
Research Methods, Qualitative Methods and Dementia Studies.

Following admission to a care home, family and friends may feel
uncertain as to how they now 'fit in' to their loved one's life.
This training package, comprising a booklet and DVD, is designed to
encourage family participation in the care home and develop a
constructive partnership between staff in care homes, families and
people with dementia. The DVD and booklet provide material for four
separate training sessions for use by mixed groups of relatives and
care home staff. Each session explores a different theme: sharing
information, sharing the care, developing supportive relationships
and making it work. With a clear and flexible layout, group
exercises and notes for the facilitator, this training package will
enable professionals and relatives to develop positive and
fulfilling ways of working together and improve the level of care
for those with dementia. This practical training package
complements the book Involving Families in Care Homes: A
Relationship-Centred Approach to Dementia Care (Woods, Keady &
Seddon) and will be an essential resource for improving
relationships between care home professionals, family members and
residents with dementia.
*Winner in the Health and Social Care category at the 2012 British
Medical Association Book Awards* Risk is central to professional
practice, assessment and decision-making in dementia care. Yet
theories of risk are often complex and difficult to translate into
everyday practice. This book outlines some of the key issues in
risk perception, assessment and management in dementia care in a
way that is both practical and accessible to a wide range of
practitioners. It develops an approach to risk that promotes choice
for people with dementia whilst also acknowledging the complex
challenges care providers face. The authors provide an overview of
the legislative framework currently in place, and of the ethical
dilemmas which may emerge in practice. Frameworks for informed and
balanced decision-making are offered, and the importance of
including the person with dementia, their family, and care
providers in decision-making is emphasised. Throughout the book,
case studies are used to illustrate effective negotiation and
practical solutions to risk dilemmas in practice. This book
highlights principles of good practice for managing risk in
dementia care, and presents a rounded approach that will help
practitioners negotiate some of the complex issues this entails.

Comprehensive coverage including established and innovative designs
and methods
Families often wrestle with the decision to move a person with
dementia into a care home. The decision can be highly charged and
emotional, involving feelings of loss, sadness and guilt. Moreover,
developing a good relationship between the family and the care home
is not an easy matter. In this accessible guide the authors take
person-centred dementia care a step forward by outlining ways in
which care homes can help families to become partners in the caring
process. Using case examples, quotations and research-based
evidence, the authors offer practical advice and good practice
guidelines for supporting relatives who choose to be involved in
the care of people with dementia living in a care home, as well as
highlighting the value of this involvement. The book is written in
an easy-to-read style and incorporates useful features such as
checklists for reviewing current practices and summaries of key
points for each chapter. An invaluable resource for care home
managers and staff, this book will also be helpful for families of
people with dementia, as well as for students and researchers
interested in dementia care practice.
Despite the growth of interest in dementia and dementia care over
the past two decades, services and interventions for younger people
with dementia and their carers remain, on the whole, fragmented and
poorly developed. The focus of social, psychological and biomedical
research has been almost exclusively on older people and their
carers. The first book to address the subject in its own right,
Younger People with Dementia addresses good practice and stimulates
an agenda for change. The contributors explore the implications for
younger people with dementia and their families at personal,
planning and service-development levels. Arguing that information
from the wide range of existing practice and clinical knowledge can
be shared and built upon, the contributors call for a
collaborative, interprofessional and multi-disciplinary approach to
all stages of the provision of services.
