Rethinking Alzheimer's care

"Rethinking Alzheimer's Care encourages a complete reframing of the Alzheimer's experience. With exploration of how to find opportunities in the disease instead of despair, the authors inspire care providers to look beyond loss and decline to discover new contexts for growth and development.". "Whether it is promoting reshaping the environment, revisiting the concept of care, or rediscovering the soul, Rethinking Alzheimer's Care revolutionizes attitudes toward the disease and its management. Exercises throughout the text help administrators and staff explore and implement new ways of caring that stress the importance of preserving the dignity, autonomy, and emotional health of people living with Alzheimer's disease.". "Appropriate for any setting, including long-term care, adult day services, or assisted living, this fresh and humanistic approach to Alzheimer's care helps pave the way for profound changes in the way we care."--BOOK JACKET.
