Summary Supporting People to Live Well with Dementia describes how to effectively develop, promote and evaluate services for people with dementia. It provides readers with an understanding of the different ways in which library customers may be affected by dementia, and an appreciation of some of the ways they can continue to contribute positively to their communities. It then suggests ways in which libraries can better support people with dementia and their carers through approaches to customer service, design, resources, reading interventions, online provision and a range of other activities that promote more positive and inclusive attitudes towards people living with dementia amongst library staff, customers and communities more widely.
Contents What is dementia? -- Supporting people living with dementia and their carers -- Library design and environment -- Reading and Dementia -- Health, social and arts activities -- Digital and online provision -- Partnership working -- Communications and marketing -- Evaluation and service development -- Future Trends -- Summary: Ten actions for dementia-friendly libraries.
