Description: Understanding the identity and history of those we support is vital. Setting out policies and procedures that encourage advocacy of individualised care for LGBTQ+ people with dementia, the goal is to encourage practices that help service users to feel understood, respected and well cared for.
Review Quotes: Understanding, reflecting and action are the key messages of this book, linking person-centred dementia practice to equalities and respect. The authors focus on social care and social work practice to highlight how LGBTQ+ people living with dementia may worry about, fear and avoid care encounters. The stories they include can be read alone or in teams as thought-provoking ways to implement truly person-centred dementia care.--Jill Manthorpe CBE, Director, NIHR Policy Research Unit in Health and Social Care Workforce
