In the context of demographic change, social elder care is gaining importance. A particular challenge in practice is the increasing number of people with dementia. In addition to the classic tasks such as counseling and relieving family caregivers, entirely new areas of activity are emerging in this field, such as promoting volunteer engagement, networking within the family system, and enabling social participation. This book provides a compact overview of the fundamental knowledge for both students of social work and for the further training of practitioners. Beyond the presentation of theory, concepts, and methods, the content is action-oriented, featuring many practical examples and a strong connection to real-world practice.
