July 21, 2015
A new book from the U.K. by June Andrews is titled Dementia: The One-Stop Guide, and it offers practical advice for families, professionals, and people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. The Table of Contents suggests the scope:
- What is dementia?
- Getting a diagnosis
- Adjusting to the news: for carers
- Adjusting to the news: for people with dementia
- What are friends for?
- Managing care at home
- Disturbing Behaviours
- Your dementia-friendly home
- What you should expect from the social care system
- What you should expect from the NHS
- The dangers of a hospital admission and how to avoid them
- Some important legal issues
- What to look for in a care home
- Advice on complaints and sample letter
I wonder how Chapters 9 and 10 would be written from a U.S. perspective?
