Guidelines are rooted in the theory of retrogenesis in dementia--that those with the condition regress in stages toward infancy--as well as knowledge of associated brain damage. The objective is to meet patients where they are developmentally to best be able to address the tasks of their daily lives, from eating and toileting to preventing falls and wandering. This accessible information gives readers a platform for creating strategies that are respectful, sensitive, and tailored to individual needs, thus avoiding problems that result when care is ineffective or counterproductive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbilities and disabilities during the different stages of Alzheimer's disease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrategies for keeping the patient's finances safe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePain in those with dementia, and why it is frequently ignored.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Help!
