| Annotation | Social work staff are in the front-line of helping clients and their family relatives cope with the consequences of dementia. This practice guide sets out to help staff to begin to: understand the implications of diagnosis; consider a framework of understanding to enable assessment of needs, care, long-term support, and multi-disciplinary approach to service provision; assess and manage risk situations; gain knowledge of the roles of other professionals; and identify conflict situations and possible need for advocacy. |
