It is widely acknowledged that today’s dementia care needs improving, so what is holding it back? Dementia consultant Anne Ellett draws on her extensive experience in nursing homes and assisted living communities to explore answers to this question and guide professionals to real-life solutions. Filled with examples from care communities implementing innovative ideas and model programming, Ellett explores what holds back improvements in care—misinformed attitudes, staff limitations, organizational pressures, surplus safety concerns, and more—and then describes both large and small strategies for overcoming barriers and producing big changes in the lives of residents with dementia. Whether you’re a memory care professional, a person living with dementia, or a family member, you will find inspiration to focus on what can be done to help each person with memory loss have a good day, every day.
