An innovative new book prescribing the path to a better way of life for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Written by Randy L. Griffin, a recognized expert in the field of dementia care, the book examines why people with dementia are often misunderstood by their families, by their caregivers and by society as a whole. Whether you re a healthcare Administrator, Nurse, Food Service Director, Recreation therapist, Occupational or Physical therapist, Social Worker - or a family member, caregiver or caring friend - this book walks you through the steps necessary for a dementia unit to provide specialized, compassionate care. Illustrated through numerous personal examples, Changing the Culture for Dementia Care will show you how: 1) The quality of life can be improved for people with dementia if we treat the whole person and not just the individuals symptoms. 2) Family members hold the key to a person s legacy and can help us demystify their behaviors 3) Modifications in how we provide care can vastly improve an individual s sense of dignity and well-being 4) Dining can be an occasion for emotional and sensory enrichment, as well as physical nourishment 5) Long-term care facilities can find new ways to enlighten and educate their staff by conducting a simple training needs analysis (included) 6) Culture change can be achieved through an integrative holistic approach to caregiving.
