From laying a foundation of the types of dementia, the BPSD Textbook addresses holistic assessment, understanding causes of changes in behaviour, issues of care, medical effects, the role of medication, and the importance of individually tailored psychosocial interventions. Relevant cases studies provide personalised examples of real-life issues experienced by people living with dementia and approaches used by carers. These case studies are further supported by text elements such as summaries and exercises to help readers to not only understand but implement what they are learning. Edited by three leaders in their fields, Executive Director of the Dementia Centre (Research, International & Dementia Design) Associate Professor Colm Cunningham, psychogeriatrician Associate Professor Stephen Macfarlane and geriatrician and aged care specialist Dr Madeleine Healy, the BPSD Textbook draws not only from an impressive range of expert authors, but on the extensive practice experience of leading dementia care organisation, HammondCare. Meeting the need for a high-quality, comprehensive educational text addressing BPSD, this book is ideal for the aged care workforce, allied health professionals and registered nurses seeking to develop their knowledge and inform their practice.

Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia

Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Selected for Reading Well for Dementia 2024: endorsed by health experts, charities and people affected by dementia. Drawing on the author's first-hand experiences with families, this book provides crucial, accessible information and answers the difficult questions that often arise when a family member with an intellectual disability is diagnosed with dementia. Linking directly to policy and practice in both dementia and intellectual disability care, this book takes an outcome-focussed approach to support short, medium and long-term planning. With a particular emphasis on communication, the author seeks to ensure that families and organisations are able to converse effectively about a relative's health and care. The book looks at how to recognise when changes in the health of a relative with an intellectual disability could indicate the onset of dementia, as well as addressing common concerns surrounding living situations, medication and care plans. Each chapter is structured to identify strategies for support whilst working towards outcomes identified by families as dementia progresses.

Handbook on Ageing with Disability
Author: Michelle PutnamPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429878370
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Mainstream gerontological scholarship has taken little heed of people ageing with disability, and they have also been largely overlooked by both disability and ageing policies and service systems. The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is the first to pull together knowledge about the experience of ageing with disability. It provides a broad look at scholarship in this developing field and across different groups of people with disability in order to form a better understanding of commonalities across groups and identify unique facets of ageing within specific groups. Drawing from academic, personal, and clinical perspectives, the chapters address topics stemming from how the ageing with disability experience is framed, the heterogeneity of the population ageing with disability and the disability experience, issues of social exclusion, health and wellness, frailty, later life, and policy contexts for ageing with disability in various countries. Responding to the need to increase access to knowledge in this field, the Handbook provides guideposts for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers about what matters in providing services, developing programmes, and implementing policies that support persons ageing with long-term disabilities and their families.

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Growing older is a process with numerous gradual or sudden changes over time. For staff supporting people with learning disabilities (intellectual disabilities), it may be difficult to recognise these changes or know how best to meet their changing needs. This new self-study guide and training pack address a significant gap in knowledge and practice, aiming to help staff and others to improve their understanding of how growing older may affect individuals. Through knowledge content, exercises, key learning points, and video clips of older people with learning disabilities talking about their experiences of growing older, the materials will help support staff to explore how person-centred planning, good communication, building confidence, and encouraging independence can make a positive difference to individuals' lives in the key areas of emotional well-being, health, being active and involved, home life, and dying well.
