Product Description

Product Description

This practical book provides simple and imaginative ways to prevent and reduce stress-related behaviours in people with dementia in residential care. The author's approach is based on maximizing personal expression and fulfilment and recovering access to familiar, enjoyable and meaningful activities. He suggests strategies for managing common problems with feeding, bathing, toileting and sleep, looks at how to understand and cope with wandering, agitation and inappropriate sexual activity, and discusses ways of defusing aggressive behaviour. He also explains how to enhance care home environments and staff communication skills, and suggests a variety of helpful activities and therapies. Written in a clear, accessible style, this book will be an invaluable resource for residential care workers and the families and carers of people with dementia.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very valuable companion!, 23 Jan 2006
Mr Bonner tells us in his introduction that he has gathered information from various sources to create his handy little book, and there isn't anything particularly 'new' or earth shaking. What Mr Bonner has done is built a super source book for anyone looking after persons with dementia - it has proved to be very valuable to me in creating care plans and strategies to help reduce problem behaviours in a dementia care setting.
If I have a criticsm, it's a small one. I would have liked him to have explored the problems of inappropriate sexual activity and the problems of sleep disturbance in a bit more depth.
Apart from that, well, I take my hat off to you sir! I recommend this to student RMN's, senior carers, community based nurses, really, anyone dealing with the problem behaviours found in the unfortunate patient with dementia.
