Omschrijving
How to Live Well with Dementia: Expert Help for People Living with Dementia and their Family, Friends, and Carer Partners provides an array of essential guidance about the different aspects of dementia for all whose lives are touched by dementia, including people living with dementia as well as their support network.
“For those facing dementia, whether personally or as a caregiver, this book offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.”
--Christopher Barry, CEO, Alzheimer Society of Canada.
“This excellent book helps us all to become proactive instead of just reactive, which will improve the lives of everyone who lives with or is affected by dementia. Finding out as much information as you can about living with dementia, then changing your life as you learn, helps make the symptoms and deficits less challenging to live with for yourself and those around you. This is a must-have book for those diagnosed, their families, and everyone involved in their care and support. This is a guide that I wish I had when first diagnosed. It starts at the beginning and accompanies you alongside your life with dementia, until the final chapter where it continues to support those left behind. All the information you need is in one place, written by experts, including those who have been directly affected- the experts by experience.”
--Chris Roberts, Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD) and Ambassador for Alzheimer’s Society UK.
