| Annotation | The aim of this book is to create a new culture of dementia care in residential and nursing homes, by describing and commenting on ways of working which appear to be successful for people with dementia. Underpinning all the practical suggestions is the view of the dementia sufferer as a whole person, and the importance of enhancing the personhood of people with dementia through reminiscence, life story work and communication is stressed. Topics covered include: how to make new residents feel at home; creating environments friendly to people with dementia; and using a relaxation and stimulation room to provide sensory experiences in a single room (hearing, touch, smell and sight). |
