There are estimated to be 47 million people with a dementia worldwide, the majority of whom will live, or want to live in their own home. Yet, there is a major shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people with a dementia living at home. Most research focuses on care in hospitals or care homes, and takes a medical perspective. This book bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people with a dementia to live well at home, from the viewpoint of those living with the condition, and in the context of global policy drivers on ageing and health, as well as technological advances. The book includes chapters on citizenships that is, the diversity of people living with a dementia - enabling life at home, rethinking self-management, the ethics and care of people with a dementia at home, technological care and citizenship, and sharing responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto, in which we set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a dementia that covers the arenas of professional practice, education, and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at home, this book provides a synthesised, critical, and readable understanding of the complexities and risks involved."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record cip data provided by publisher Subject Dementia -- Patients -- Home care Dementia -- Patients -- Family relationships Caregivers.
