Summary:
A practical guide to dealing with dementia. Around the world, almost 50 million people have dementia, and hundreds of millions of people are affected by the dementia of loved ones. Unlike other books that look at this condition purely from the perspective of caretakers, this book provides insight into what it feels like to have dementia, how you can deal with it, and what you can do to keep it at bay. Packed with practical tips for providing what people with dementia or Alzheimer's want and need, this guide will help ensure that they can stay well and happy as long as possible. June Andrews is Professor Emeritus at the University of Stirling, Scotland, where she served as Director of the Dementia Services Development Centre for more than a decade.
