{"product_id":"late-stage-dementia-care-a-basic-guide","title":"Late-Stage Dementia Care: A Basic Guide","description":"People with mid-stage dementia are served by special care units in long-term care facilities, although as these residents deteriorate, they are transferred out of the unit and into a general nursing home unit. These nursing homes are not equipped to deal with palliative needs of end-stage dementia care. The book addresses those needs. With this in mind, Part One examines the stages of dementia end-stage in particular. Other chapters in this section provide background on the hospice movement and hospice concepts; the idea of maintaining personhood; and administration of a late-stage care unit. Part Two focuses on treatment approaches for common needs in end-stage dementia - medical and physical care; a supportive environment; the fundamentals of care; psychopharmacology; and therapeutic activities. Part 3 contains chapters on family-centred care; legal and ethical issues; programme evaluation; and future opportunities.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1560325151\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1560325151.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kovach, C.
