MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

What 'kind' of community is demanded by a problem like dementia?
As aspects of care continue to transition from institutional to community and home settings, this book considers the implications for people living with dementia and their carers.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork and case studies from Canada, this book analyses the intersections of formal dementia strategies and the experiences of families and others on the frontlines of care.
Considering the strains placed on care systems by the COVID-19 pandemic, this book looks afresh at what makes home-based care possible or impossible and how these considerations can help establish a deeper understanding necessary for good policy and practice.
