Publisher Description
It is widely acknowledged that today's dementia care needs improving, so what is holding it back? Dementia consultant Anne Ellett draws on her extensive experience in nursing homes and assisted living communities to explore answers to this question and guide professionals to real-life solutions. Filled with examples from care communities implementing innovative ideas and model programming, Ellett explores what holds back improvements in care—misinformed attitudes, staff limitations, organizational pressures, surplus safety concerns, and more—and then describes both large and small strategies for overcoming barriers and producing big changes in the lives of residents with dementia. Whether you're a memory care professional, a person living with dementia, or a family member, you will find inspiration to focus on what can be done to help each person with memory loss have a good day, every day.
Author Biography
A certified nurse practitioner and gerontological nurse, Anne Ellett, M.S.N., N.P., is a dementia specialist, educator, writer, and speaker who continues to learn from people living with dementia. For more than 20 years, Anne has advocated for innovative and dignified support for people living with dementia through her association with Silverado Senior Living and then as founder of Memory Care Support, LLC. Prior to founding her own company, Anne held the position of senior vice president of Health Services for Silverado for more than 10 years. During that time, she was recognized for her work in the area of dementia care by the Center for Excellence in Assisted Living (CEAL). In addition, she was nominated to the U.S. Congressional Advisory Committee on Elder Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation. Anne specializes in assisting long-term care and memory care operators across the country to develop best practices for innovative environments in dementia care. She is notably the developer of the Green House Project's Best Life Approach, which supports people living with dementia. Recognizing that providing life-affirming support for people living with dementia is complex, Anne believes that excellent care is not possible without leaders and staff believing in the potential of people with dementia as well as in the staff themselves. In addition to her work in dementia care, Anne also teaches about mindful aging, referencing recent studies on nutrition and health to maintain brain health and reduce risk of developing dementia. She has a Master of Science degree in nursing from California State University, Long Beach. As a Master Gardener, Anne enjoys gardening at her California home or traveling with her husband when not working.
