Description
Cognitive disorders take a toll on everyone—the person living with the condition, their family, friends, caregivers, and the communities they live in. Most of the public's interest has been in the medical research area for this devastating disease, and advice is desperately needed from those who have created innovative solutions with their own first-hand experience.
Voices in Dementia Care is based on a series of interviews with dementia care experts across Europe and the United States and with people living day-to-day with the condition. It provides an intimate look at the challenges of delivering high-quality dementia care with limited resources. The book provides readers a list of best practices that can be adapted and applied in the home and in institutional settings. Voices in Dementia Care is a must-read for anyone caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive disorders.
From Voices in Dementia Care—
In these pages, we include transcripts of our interviews with the elder care and long-term care providers we have interviewed about dementia care. The voices of these care professionals are important to hear in their entirety, as they describe the nuances of the challenges inherent in delivering innovative high quality dementia care with limited resources.
Based on our analysis of these interviews, we have identified the critical best practices that we believe all elder and long-term care providers should consider when delivering care to people living with dementia. These best practices can be adapted and applied by the informal caregiver as well—the sister, brother, child, or other loved one who may be responsible for caring for a person living with dementia outside of a traditional care environment.

My grandmother has dementia, which prompted me to read this book. This book is very informative and had many great practices for people who have no experience with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other cognitive disorders.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I choose to read this book because I was very curious, as I feel like I don't know much about this disease, that only increases in the number of patients each year. No cure and unknown are very scary.
It is a very informative book filled with interviews of people from all aspects of care for dementia patients. Usually, nurses and doctors choose to do it because they have someone in their family who has dementia. I love the interview with Brian LeBlanc, a national public speaker with Alzheimer's disease. His interview had the most impact on me. I learned a lot reading this so I can say it is a successful and useful book.
"The number of people with dementia is expected to double every twenty years, reaching seventy-five million in 2030 and 131.5 million in 2050."
"The core of person centered care is to think of a person with dementia as a person who has the same needs as everybody else."
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy of the book in exchange for the honest review.

Loved this book. For those families dealing with Dementia this is a must read. There are so many uncertainties and this book did a great job sorting through concepts and medical jargon. I would definitely recommend.
Tom M, Reviewer
Superb book on this key topic, especially for anyone involved in memory care ministry. Provides much needed detailed information and explanations.
Jeanette S, Reviewer
I am always interested in books on the subject of dementia, mainly due to my late mother having Alzheimer's. I did full time caring for my mother when she was diagnosed. An interesting and informative book and one that i would recommend reading, especially if you know little about dementia.
My thanks to Netgalley and the Pubishers for my copy. This is my honest review, which i have voluntarily given.

As a student in a medical graduate program, we focus so much time on how to help people and make them better. This book is an inspirational resource that every medical student should read before working with dementia patients because it gives such a good insight on how to cope when you can't cure them but they still need compassionate care.
