Annotation	This workbook is based on the principle that an individual's life experience, unique personality and network of relationships should be valued and taken into account by staff in care settings. It has been written for staff working with people with dementia in long stay care - residential homes, nursing homes, hospital wards. It aims to promote anti-ageist practices, and in the case of ethnic minorities, providing care that is culturally appropriate. (RH).
