Description
Supporting Communication in Dementia Care: A Creative Approach Karrie Marshall offers a practical toolkit for carers and relatives to support individuals with dementia through changes in their identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. Drawing on her extensive experience working with people with dementia, Marshall provides a diverse range of creative activities to enhance communication and relationships. These activities cater to different aspects of a person's life, including physical health, self-expression, and emotional support. The book also addresses end-of-life care for individuals with dementia, exploring ways to provide gentle emotional support through activities such as breathing exercises and puppetry.
