| Annotation | The Age Awareness project was set up in 1995 by Methodist Homes for the Aged and the Christian Council on Ageing, facilitated by a grant from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust. The main objective of the project is to increase the understanding of the spiritual needs of older people. In this seventh booklet of ten, the author strongly urges that the spiritual needs of people with dementia are no different from those of everyone else. Advice on how to improve communication with persons with dementia is included, and the importance of accepting memory problems are highlighted. A case study using the pastoral cycle of experience, analysis, reflection and action, is presented. (AKM). |
