Beschreibung:
Through detailed case studies and key learning points for practice, this book explores the lived experience of people with young onset dementia and shows how to deliver better and more appropriate support and care for individuals and families. It explains the need for adapting services which are often designed for older people, and how the complicated diagnostic process can lead to misdiagnosis among younger adults. Key issues are considered, including at-risk groups, potential loss of employment, changes in relationships, adjusting life expectations, and social isolation, with practical advice for dealing with these issues.

Lonely in a social world: Maintaining social connections in young onset dementia. 8. Meaningful occupation and activities. 9. Conclusions. Resources.
