They discuss practices of identification and the work of organizing dementia services, how to support care at home, the experiences of four families, the relationship between formal and family care, difficulties in keeping and caring for family practices and how the reality of dementia becomes a pattern, whether health and social care systems can do more to help families, and how to sustain a good life with dementia.
