This pioneering book contains a wealth of information on how to provide quality long-term institutional care for the person with dementing illness. It provides an in-depth look at the concept, construction, and operation of Wesley Hall, a special living area at the Chelsea United Methodist retirement home in Michigan, designed for victims of dementia. Dr. Michael Clemmer focuses on the process that created Wesley Hall, which will in turn assist long-term care professionals in designing special living areas for their own needy residents. Victims of Dementia addresses the needs and challenges of this type of living quarters, poses questions and provides answers to pressing problems, and details numerous strategies and interventions developed and tested at Wesley Hall as a model for better care of this population. Using plain and straightforward language, this new book shows professionals how to work together with the victims of dementia in an environment that preserves the resident's dignity and capability.
