This wide-ranging book takes a person-centred approach to supporting the person and their families/carers to live with dementia and challenge the stigma attached to the condition. Divided into four parts, it starts with the voices of people with dementia themselves, as they describe their own experience and how they are living with the disease. It moves on to look at how the range of caring and support professions can help people living with dementia and their families plan and prepare for and cope better with their deteriorating condition. It then turns to practical aspects of living with dementia - dementia in the workplace, communication, safety and the role of technology and design in prolonging independence - and day-to-day considerations, such as managing insomnia and eating well. It ends with an inspiring section on the many imaginative ways people with dementia can be helped to discover and continue to enjoy cultural and creative activities that celebrate their lives and promote their abilities.

Industry Reviews

A rich recipe of ideas and thoughts on how to enable others to live with dementia. As we all should know, one size doesn't fit all, and this book offers the holistic support for which many would be grateful. --Wendy Mitchell, author of Somebody I Used to Know and What I Wish People Knew About Dementia; A brilliant example of what can be achieved when those living with dementia, their carers and specialists collaborate... an important contribution to the literature of dementia and person-centred-care. --Rod Kersh, consultant community physician, Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust; Far too often, people living with dementia and their carers are left with nothing to tell them how to move forward. This unique, invaluable book succeeds in filling the void. --Nori Graham, emeritus consultant in the psychiatry of old age, Vice President of the Alzheimer's Society
