Publisher's Synopsis
THE ELDER-CARE SOLUTION FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA WHO WISH TO REMAIN IN THEIR OWN HOME
The Purple Nest handbook was written to help elders and their families create a remain-at-home care solution where an elder is cared for by a team of live-in companions allowing the family to maintain their separate lifestyle, while ensuring their relative is safe and well cared for. The book focuses on people diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's (though it could be used for some other health conditions as well). It recognizes that due to projections that dementia will nearly double by 2050, there needs to be a viable alternative to placing an elder in a facility. This care model also produces perhaps the highest level of quality care possible for the elder, because they are the primary focus of their team of companions. The Purple Nest Home Care Model is specifically designed for elders in the early to middle stages of dementia. This step-by-step guide provides the family with the tools and processes required to implement this home care solution. Furthermore, it outlines how to educate and build a team around the individual, so both the elder and their family have the support they need.
