The Dementia Care Workbook

"I regard this as a long overdue and highly relevant addition to the literature on dementia care. Its grounding in the reality of practice and realistic approach will make it a very valuable workbook for a wide range of care workers. The book will play a large part in helping to improve dementia care by presenting a vision and manual for `best fit' realistic practice." Danny Walsh, University of Nottingham, UK

This workbook builds upon the person-centred approach to dementia care and gives students, practitioners and carers a new way of looking at dementia and the people who live with it. The authors reflect upon the reality of working within dementia care and the importance of working positively with others to achieve the best care possible.

The workbook is full of exercises and activities to try, all designed to help you engage and connect with the person with dementia, empowering both them and their families/carers.

Throughout the workbook, vignettes featuring two fictional characters living with dementia provide examples of good and realistic practice. These encourage you to examine your own practice and explore ways in which the care you give can be enhanced.

The Dementia Care Workbook is a valuable companion and learning tool for all those working with people with dementia.
