Dementia is a complex condition that causes devastating results in those it afflicts and those who care for them. The emphasis in this book is to look positively at the care of older people with a dementing illness and examine the key aspects of this care. Each subject is discussed from a practical knowledge-based perspective and the fundamental belief underlying the book is that many of the so-called problems associated with dementia can be minimized or resolved through creative management.
