As recently being a caregiver of my mom with dementia. I find this topic fascinating as we have to do better as a society to our elderly. They didn’t ask for this so maintaining dignity is of outmost importance.
I love reading different point of views and ‘ways’.
Thank you for this opportunity .....

I adored this book, and I'm not saying it lightly.
I recently got my degree as a psychogerontologist, and my internship was with patients with AD (Alzheimer's Disease), so I'm not kidding when I say it would have been a great resource when preparing and dealing with some situations I had.
Books like Voices in Dementia Care show us the differences of someone who has Dementia of a normal old person, how we can work empathically with them, and how we can cope, by qualified voices that work of the field and are trying to change the mentality and prenotions associated with Dementia. It's a good mix of an easy read about dementia with the quality of a book your college professor would recommend, and one I would have loved to talk about in my internship reunions because the empathy and person-directed actions/therapy, let them have their rhythm and not treat everyone the same, and it's something we discussed a lot, as I noticed the contrary being done in most nursing homes I visited while working.
It's gonna be on my list of psychology books to revisit when needed.

Thank you William Haseltine and Anna Dirksen for creating this book, and Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the book in exchange for a honest review.

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.

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.

Superb book on this key topic, especially for anyone involved in memory care ministry. Provides much needed detailed information and explanations.

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.

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.

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.

Voices in Dementia Care provides some useful theories on dementia but the format used isn’t very readable. Way too many, here’s this person/perspective/theory than a quote or excerpt. It felt very disjointed.
