AnnotationThis study guide is aimed at staff working in home care, day centres, nursing homes, residential homes, dementia projects, and at volunteers who are in contact with people with dementia. The content of the guide is based on the main points raised in the book `Hearing the voice of people with dementia: opportunities and obstacles' (Jessica Kingsley, 1996). It aims to promote a greater understanding of the ways in which people with dementia communicate, and to suggest how staff can improve communication.
