Produktbeschreibung

The caregiver's essential toolkit to navigating dementia and supporting loved ones Almost a million people are currently living with dementia in the UK alone and this is set to triple by 2050. With family members often providing care, navigating the disease can be overwhelming. Still Me reframes the job of caring for someone with dementia as a partnership. Both you and your loved one deserve respect, care, the latest information and practical brain-enhancing advice. Top neuroscientist and bestselling author Dr Sabina Brennan combines her professional experience with her personal journey of caring for her mother to support you and the individual with dementia. Alongside a clarification of the different types of dementia and the latest research on the disease, she offers: - A human-rights approach that validates everyone's experience and dignity - Fun brain-boosting activities to stimulate cognitive function and rehabilitation - Evidence-based techniques usually only available to specially trained health-care professionals - A self-care plan for carers, including lifestyle suggestions and ways to optimise the caregiving experience. Still Me allows you to see that the person you love is still there and deserves respect, that each day can contain moments of joy, and that as a carer, you are just as important.
