| Annotation | Good end of life care is essential in dementia, but is not always delivered. The author explains her role as an advanced nurse practitioner at Rawthorpe Care Village in Norwich. She has developed her own approach to "comfort care" (care oriented to the end of life), as something sensitive to the needs of residents with advanced dementia. Communicating an understanding of comfort care to carers and family members can also give then a chance of a bereavement that is peaceful. (RH). |
