Another ground-breaking book from Al Power whose knowledge of, and empathy for, "people whose cognition is different from that of the mainstream" will lead the way to a dementia friendly society if both professionals and lay people read and learn from it. As Board President of Alzheimer's Services of the East Bay, ASEB, I am ordering several copies for our staff and encouraging every Board Member to buy it.Powers describes a path to create Well-being for every individual, no matter how advanced the dementia. Its basis is covered in seven chapters that describe and explore the seven domains of Well-being: Identity, Connectedness, Security, Autonomy, Meaning, Growth and Joy. Each domain is explored with input from "True Experts" such as Richard Taylor, Ph.D., one of "The three men I admire the most" who work in this field. Numerous examples from the experiences of both Power and Taylor show at first hand both practices that enhance well-being, and, those that, however well-meaning, are in fact dis-empowering. A particular example that stuck in my mind, because I have seen it myself, was when Taylor talked to two ladies engaged in the "activity" of folding clothes. They were perfectly aware that staff took the clothes away, rumpled them, and brought them back for more folding.
Dr. G. Allen Power has shown himself to be a fantastic advocate for people with dementia. I saw him at a conference and talked to him later in a phone interview about his support of the Music and Memory program. The personality that shined through in those conversations comes through in this book. He is compassionate and his book gives concrete evidence for the more humane approach to dementia care.
This is a book that needs reading by so many. It can be hard to read (so 4 stars) but the central theme is exactly in the right place. I am reading it for me! As I get older, the type care Dr. Power is describing is exactly what I want to find! and I will be looking for it and demanding it for me and mine!
I bought this for the second time. It should be required reading for the adult retirement communitiy industry!
The best that I have read on the subject.
Includes tons of useful information.
We so appreciate this book. It has taken the stress off his family and care team. We focus on his assets, not his deficits. It's been the most positive help that we have found. I highly recommend it for all of us who are aging.
State of the art. We were fortunate enough to find a facility that believed in and followed his directives. It made a very hard experience turn into a loving memory.
