Here’s How to Treat Dementia

by Jennifer L. Loehr, Megan L. Malone
Covering assessment to plan of care and discharge, Here’s How to Treat Dementia is the only comprehensive, all-inclusive field manual therapists need while working with the dementia population. With this timely resource, speech-language pathologists can easily access all the information they need to adequately diagnose, treat, and document care of the client who has dementia. Far from a cookbook approach to dementia care, this manual includes valuable information on staging of dementia, goal setting (including documentation), and treatment trends. The authors provide functional tips and intervention strategies that encourage the clinicians to utilize critical thinking skills in formulating creative, personalized care plans specific to each patient’s individual strengths and weaknesses. This user-friendly manual also includes reproducible forms and handouts for patient/family education, resource education, documentation, and data collection.
