Description

Over 25,000 older people from minority ethnic backgrounds live with dementia in the UK. Research suggests that these communities often face inequalities across the dementia care pathway and often don't receive/access support until crisis point. Our modern society is wonderfully diverse with a range of cultures and ethnicities, with their own traditions, languages, and religions.

When dealing with the challenges of dementia, individuals, their families, and communities from minority ethnic backgrounds-must be provided with appropriate advice, care, and support. Drawing on the evidence base, as well as personal and professional experience, chapters cover stigma surrounding the disease, promoting dementia awareness, risk factors for developing dementia, and much more. With an account of key issues and needs for people from minority ethnic communities at each stage of life with dementia, readers are given practical examples of culturally sensitive support, services, and interventions.
