This guide demonstrates how to employ empathy and respect when caring for older people with dementia. By addressing these virtues in the care model, the authors show how people with dementia can develop positive conflict resolution skills and the ability to self-initiate in matters concerning their own care for greater independence and wellbeing.
A short, insightful book that reminds us to see people living with dementia first and foremost as
people, whose human rights need to be recognised and respected. It is clear the authors have a great deal of experience working in care settings.
With the three key values of respect, dignity and equality woven through the book, every reader will find fresh ideas to ... raise their game in dementia care.
