Management of dementia is never easy, and involves facing some unpleasant problems and difficult choices. The right approach and expertise can minimise the unpleasantness and make dementia manageable, while inexperienced or inexpert management has the potential to cause unnecessary distress and disability, mis-directed resources, frustrated care staff, unduly long periods spent in hospitaland premature care home placement.Dementia Care is a practical manual for health and social care professionals in Oxford care manuals.DementiaHandbooks, manuals, etcPsychiatryElectronic books.DementiaPsychiatry.362.19683616.83Waite Jonathan973454MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453147203321Dementia care2214663UNINA
