Description

People with mid-stage dementia are served by special care units in long-term care facilities, although as these residents deteriorate, they are transferred out of the unit and into a general nursing home unit.

These nursing homes are not equipped to deal with palliative needs of end-stage dementia care.

The book addresses those needs. With this in mind, Part One examines the stages of dementia end-stage in particular.

Other chapters in this section provide background on the hospice movement and hospice concepts; the idea of maintaining personhood; and administration of a late-stage care unit.

Part Two focuses on treatment approaches for common needs in end-stage dementia - medical and physical care; a supportive environment; the fundamentals of care; psychopharmacology; and therapeutic activities.

Part 3 contains chapters on family-centred care; legal and ethical issues; programme evaluation; and future opportunities.
