Patients suffering from dementia are increasingly coming to German hospitals. However, the staff has so far been inadequately prepared for this patient group. This action-oriented guide offers practical support. The book and the accompanying CD-ROM present already tested strategies for dealing with dementia patients and their support in the hospital. Both media assist staff in the practical management of dementia patients. They introduce support services for dementia patients in hospitals and their relatives. The transition of dementia patients to inpatient treatment or post-hospital care can also be significantly improved with these materials.
