Publisher's Synopsis
Among key features of care and support for people with dementia are challenges faced by carers and families in coping with behavioural changes, cognitive deficits and functional limitations of these individuals.
Emerson has packaged in this handbook the information needed to cope
with the delivery of care and support along all stages of the dementia pathway. It is aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the support needs for individuals with the disease and targets those whose condition has progressively worsened during the course of the illness.
In addition, it informs on current approaches to ethnically and culturally appropriate care and support on gender issues.
This book will be valuable to and is a must read for all those involved with this debilitating disease.
