Beskrivning

Rehabilitation helps individuals maintain and optimize independence. Historically, people with dementia have received little rehabilitation and the focus has been on care to replace lost function. Dementia Rehabilitation is a resource for health and social professionals, service planners, policy makers, and academics. The book makes a compelling case for rehabilitation for people with dementia, including the views of people with dementia and the research evidence. For each area of function, the research evidence and relevant theory is summarized, followed by practical information on clinical assessment, and delivery of therapies.

Reviews functions affected by dementia, including cognition, communication, and physical function.
Outlines evidence-based strategies to maintain function and to delay decline.
Describes how to maintain activities of daily living and leisure activities.
Includes techniques to maintain self-identity and mood.
Recognizes the importance of environment and care partners in supporting rehabilitation.
Summarizes models of care for rehabilitation.
