Since its first publication in 1994, The Palliative Care Handbook has been consistently revised, developed and updated to be an essential and practical international resource enabling quality palliative care.

This booklet particularly concerns those residents living with dementia when they behave in ways which are upsetting or potentially harmful to you, themselves or others. These are known as behaviours of concern, or challenging behaviours.

This booklet is for families who have a loved one living in an aged care facility. Each person’s experience of caring for someone with dementia will be different but everyone experiences difficult moments.

Full of clear information and handy hints, this free eBook will help carers and care workers in planning and supporting the physical care of older people and people living with dementia.
