It is often easier to adopt the value of person-centred care
without being clear what it means in terms of day-to-day practice
reality. This book excels at being very clear about exactly what
the processes involve and gives suggestions for how they should be
undertaken. -- Research, Policy & Planning
Like many (but sadly not all) training materials, this guide is set
out in a format that is easy to read and adapt. The section on
cognitive ability is, as the authors comment, surprisingly absent
in much training material for people supporting people with
dementia. -- Dementia
One of the Bradford Dementia Goup good practice guides, this book
will be well used by carers working with older people. It offers
up-to-date and theoretically sound information, with practical
assessment forms that can be photocopied... This is an excellent
resource for staff in care homes who want a comprehensive guide to
planning care for people with dementia. -- Nursing Standards, Gary
Blatch, Dementia Strategy Manager, South Essex Partnership
University NHS Foundation Trust, Southend-on-Sea
I greatly enjoyed reading this well-presented, practice-orientated
publication and positively recommend it. I agree with the authors
that there has never been a better time to promote new ideologies
and positive ways of working with people with dementia. -- Quality
in Ageing and Older People
I found this book to be useful and practical. One of its strengths
lay in its participatory intentions and if practitioners followed
these guidelines, they would go a further step towards enhancing
service user and carers' confidence in the purpose of planning and
attention to sharing information on a more equal footing when
thinking about how care and support can bre enriched within
different environments. -- British Journal of Social Work
At last, here's a superbly thought-out and designed tool and format
for care planning... This book is truly a "good practice guide" and
has all you need to use care planning properly, but you'll have to
work at it because you have to understand what you're doing... Buy
it and USE it!. -- Standards for Practice
The whole ties things together very neatly and the book will be
treasured by those who use it. Let us hope that this will be many,
for these pages will help people turn good intentions into good
practices. -- For Dementia Plus
