Description
If you are caring for someone with dementia, you might feel like someone changed the rules of reality. Authors Barbara Huelat and Sharon Pochron support both the caregiver and the person with dementia alike with non-pharmaceutical therapeutic interventions that target the miseries of dementia behaviours, triggers, and casualties induced by them.
Options include human engagement, the experience of destinations, positive distractions, familiar settings, furnishings, light, colour, technology, nature, and the emotion of the senses. No cure exists for dementia, but the tips, strategies, and suggestions included in Taming the Chaos of Dementia provide tools for caregivers and those with dementia to make the experience more comfortable and calm.
