Dementia Beyond Drugs
Dementia Beyond Drugs is a very interesting read. Dr. G. Allen Power challenges us to change the way care is provided to our elderly loved-ones afflicted with dementia. Dr. Power presents a model of care that will enable us to create a world in which even people with advanced dementia can experience well-being and growth, with little or no medication.
When I first starting reading the book, I was skeptical of Dr. Power's experiential model of care for people who live with dementia. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find numerous, practical ways to improve care of dementia patients in a residential setting or at home. In fact, his advice is beneficial to anyone caring for an elder.
Too often we reduce our loved-one to a "diagnosis" rather than trying to understand their experience of dementia. Dr. Power's book is a must read for everyone whose life or career has been touched by dementia. He encourages and teaches us how to grow as partners in creating a better life for all involved
