### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A must read if you work with dementia patients professionally
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2012*

The author attempts to convey an approach to the treatment and care of dementia patients which is strength based and life enhancing.  Unfortunately it is out of keeping with the primarily profit based motivations of the traditional Long Term Care Facility.  As a consulting geriatric psychologist I attempt to introduce principles derived from the authors work in my consultations.  It has been helpful and often futile.  The latter because it's impossible to encourage a CENA to spend just a few minutes actually working to develop a relationship with one of her patients for the patients benefit when she has 12 to 15 patients to care for on an 8 hour shift.This is, I hope, a guidepost for the future of dementia care.  But only if we as a society decide human quality of life is at least as important as " the bottom line".

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    For those who have control over facilities design
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 5, 2011*

Good book--but more for those who are policy makers or have the power to design/staff Alzheimer's facilities.  In a way, the book is depressing for care givers of Alzheimer's patients, as the facilities described as more ideal for "the person[dementia patient] coming first" really don't exist.This book probably should be read by lawmakers, policymakers, and those who run facilities that care for dementia patients. If it could make a difference in their care, that would be wonderful. The current business, for-profit model is not exactly caring nor in the best interests of patients or their loved ones.It's an academic book--research based and not self-help or "how to" book for caregivers, but it is an important book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    There is hope in dementia care.
  

*by C***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2013*

Kitwood brings his combined experience as an academic psychologist and loving approach to care giving to shift the paradigm of what can be done for dementia care.  He argues that by focusing more on the psycho-social reality of the individual and less on the inevitability of biological decline, dementia patients can live with more dignity and equanimity.  While the book is written primarily for care givers and their teachers, I found it very helpful in changing my attitude and approach to my mother, who is suffering from serious dementia.
