Dementia and the Family is all about helping families to live well with dementia. Through an intergenerational approach to caring for a loved one with dementia, the book will give families the confidence, knowledge and self-belief in the difference they can make.

There are more than 160 activities which are fun and easy to follow and which will spark memories, stimulate engagement and encourage interaction. The activities are divided into sections: Reminiscence Activities, Games, Arts, Crafts & Music, Relaxation, Exercise & Outside, Home, food & shopping and more.

Whilst the book is ideal for use by families to support a loved one at home, it will also be a valuable resource for care homes, Memory Cafés and people working in day services and voluntary organisations.

“This is a little gem of a book. It gets right to the heart of caring for someone living with dementia. It does not tell you how to measure their ability, does not assume you want to know lots about signs, symptoms and prognosis, it particularly does not paint a bleak picture of all the things someone with a dementia can’t do, and that’s it’s total joy. It just tells you there are things that you can do with your loved one, right now, whatever your age or personal ability, that will engage them, entertain them, involve them and provide you both with real moments of accomplishment and togetherness. Using the many activities and tips in this gentle book will open up a world to you that you may have thought was lost, or would be lost soon, and shows you that no matter what dementia is, or what dementia does, the person you love is still there waiting for you: all you have to do is to find them.” Dr Paul Smith, Advanced Nurse Practitioner
