Never let it be said, "There is nothing more we can do." Joyce Simard has given us a blueprint for honoring the souls who remain with their earthly bodies past the time that language and activity are the primary focus. If you love someone living with dementia, this book will fortify you to know there is much to be done in the later stages to give them comfort and joy.
As a 15 year hospice professional I was anticipating a book with more depth. This book would be good for someone unfamiliar with end of life care. The focus of the book is on how to set up a program. I was anticipating more scholarship based in intervention and outcome.
This book was highly recommended since I am a caregiver and a large percentage of my patients have Alzheimers and/or Dementia. I want to be the very best and most compassionate caregiver I can to benefit every day of their lives.
Outstnding and effective approach to providing care for those with dementia. A good read for those who are caretakers or relatives of those with dementia. All memory care centers should adapt this program!
This book is one of the great books available for long term care professionals. There are a few visionaries in our industry and Joyce is one of them.I have been in long term care for 20 years. I started as an administrator of a skilled nursing facility. After 10 years of learning the business I started an innovative dementia care facility. We have now grown to two locations and are considered the very best in our state. I say all this not to impress but so you know my perspective is a little broader.Joyce's book and approach is amazing. We have even had Joyce consult for us and help us improve our activity program.Thank you Joyce! You are awesome and I appreciate your contributions to our field.David Fitzgerald
