Produktbeschreibung

This book is an information guide on how to recognise a good nursing/care home for people suffering from dementia and, in particular, Alzheimers-type dementia. You will learn what you need to know before you visit your first home, what questions to ask the manager, and what to look out for when visiting the home. The book deals with areas such as location, decor of unit, trained staff, nursing care, activities, and abuse, which are all factors important when choosing the home. Also discussed is challenging behaviour and the benefits of admitting the Alzheimers patient to the home, plus much more. Dementia and person-centred care (PCC) are discussed in detail. The aim of this book is to inform the uninformed. It is written in a step-by-step approach in laymans terms to help you decide which home to choose for your loved one who suffers from dementia. This can be done effectively by walking around the home, observing, and knowing what questions to ask.

Autorenporträt

Nurse Ann is a retired nurse with over thirty years' experience in the dementia/Alzheimer's care sector based in Northern Ireland. She is happily married for over forty years, with four grown children who live nearby. Her nursing qualifications and experience include general nursing training; training with vulnerable adults; courses in abuse, health, and safety; moving and handling; challenging behaviour and pain; COSHE; and Training for Trainers, an Alzheimer's course whereby she has been trained to train all staff in the understanding and caring for Alzheimer's patients. She has an Alzheimer's University module in dementia care. She believes that this training plus her on-the-floor experience qualifies her to complete this book. Like Florence Nightingale, she feels nursing hands-on is still the best means of caring for and knowing people's needs.
