A practical guide to helping those living with dementia live their best life in a way that makes sense to them.
Essential reading for anyone working with people living with dementia, this book explains the concept of Self-Directed Support and Care for people living with dementia and links the various Person Centred approaches within dementia care with Person Centred Planning and Community based approaches. As the content unfolds, the concept of the Dementia Care Triad (people living with dementia, unpaid carers and professional carers) is explored and developed further to include the layer of community. The links between the health and social care legal context, guidance documents and national dementia strategies are presented with good, actionable practice, approaches, tools and informed advice to achieve Person Centred dementia care and support, with an emphasis on communities
Living a Good Life with Dementia will help professionals and carers gain knowledge and insight to be able to develop creative ideas for the care and support they want to have in place.
“This is the book we need. Too often people living with dementia are not included in cutting edge thinking and practice, but this book provides a comprehensive overview of some of the most important initiatives and perspectives that will transform support for people with dementia and enable us all to live together, as equals, at every stage of our lives. Great credit goes to the authors for integrating so much useful information."
