What They're Saying
Critics Review
Features
The best feature of this book is the way it explores dementia care to promote the ethical and compassionate approach by practitioners, nurses, caregivers, and family members to people living with dementia. With many case studies in different scenarios that describe the experiences of people living with dementia, this book presents a clear view of dementia care delivery that focuses on a person-centered care model.
Assessment
This is a useful book that can be used as a reference for providing care to dementia patients or to enable people living with dementia to live well. While the demand for dementia-related services increases, as a gerontological registered nurse, I find this book valuable for healthcare practitioners: the stories, the approaches, and interventions are the best way to learn and to improve care delivery.
Weighted Numerical Score: 91 - 4 Stars!
