| Annotation | "Letting go without giving up" grew from concerns expressed by carers who felt they were no longer allowed a role in caring for the person they had looked after at home after the person entered long-term care. It considers that situation's emotional impact on the carer; the impact of the move on the person with dementia; practical ways in which the carer can stay involved; visiting; communication and understanding behaviour; preparing for the end of the person's life; and coping with bereavement. The information is also available in large print on Alzheimer Scotland's website (www.alzscot.org). (RH). |
