The importance of the role of professional carer and the responsibility they carry regarding whether or not care improves, is underlined throughout the book." "Dementia - Metamorphosis in Care would be a valuable resource for students in health, mental health and social care - nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychologists and medics."--Jacket. |
