Overview

The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia is on the rise, yet the cost of dementia care options continues to grow. For many, family caregiving becomes the most practical and cost-effective solution, at least for a time. Keeping dementia patients actively engaged in everyday activities and cognitively challenging tasks is beneficial for both body and mind and, in some cases, it can even slow the progression of the disease. Staying active and engaged can help to reduce dementia sleep problems, as well. This book will take you on a journey into the everyday experiences that activity coordinators and carers face when providing meaningful daily activities within health and social care. This book provides you with an insight into their tried and tested activities and the challenges the authors have faced, sometimes good, sometimes not so good, when working within Mental health and dementia care. You will discover and learn through their practical guide how to adapt activities in a person-centered approach to meet the core needs of the individuals within your care for an improved quality of life. buy this book now.
