If you are struggling with a person who has Dementia/Alzheimer's disease and getting them to come into contact with water this book offers understanding and compassion regarding the dynamics of bathing when someone is ill. What I liked best about this book is that it truly is "person-directed" provides useful tips such as how to focus more on the person than on the task or how to help the person feel more in control. I have used several of the techniques and have been very successful. This book changed my perspective and approach to the bathing process. While I am not a nurse I have been caring for an individual in my family who has more than moderate Alzheimer disease and it has been a significant challenge in the bathing process. I think this book is for anyone facing this issue and the book is written very clearly, with sensitivity and compassion towards both the caregiver and the individual who has dementia. I highly recommend this book.
This book should be in the resource library of every nursing home. The information about bathing residents with memory loss is based on research conducted in nursing homes. The bathing experience can be very stressful for residents with memory loss. Enhancing the bathing experience not only helps residents but will prevent injuries to staff members.
a much needed book as more of the boomer generation children deal with this disease in spouses or parents. My wife uses it at her work in an elder care facility.
