Dementia Care Programming : An
Identity-Focused Approach NEW
by Rosemary Dunn
The books focuses on the concept that there is no single right
answer to how we meet the needs of persons with dementia and points
out how dementia caregiving is filled with opportunities for adventure,
nurturing, being nurtured, and creative problem solving - plenty
of opportunities to meet difficult challenges. Dunne also gives
caregivers some gentle reminders to listen to their residents'
responses to care with their eyes, hearts, and minds. Perhaps
one of the most powerful messages in this book is that when caregivers
strive to empathize with their residents' experiences of dementia,
they move away from the power struggles that have caused much
of the residents' resistance to care, and become more creative
and more successful caregivers. This book proposes that, disease
or no disease, each person has the right to be treated well and
to be respected for whom they are and what they have accomplished.
The respect and dignity focus of this book is based on the recognition
of individuality whether disease is present or not.
