| Summary |
The first three programs in this series demonstrate not only how to greatly enhance the elder's quality of life but also the importance of creating a safe environment. In addition, they illustrate practical strategies for dealing with many of the effects of dementia, including combative or uninhibited behavior, sleeplessness, wandering, delusions, and anxiety. The fourth program, narrated by Anne Meara, deals with sexuality of elders living in residential facilities. It tastefully shows various sexual expressions, the effect of those expressions on others, and methods to allow freedom of sexual expression while maintaining a comfortable environment for other residents and staff.-- from outer container jacket |
