Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What must social care workers take into account when supporting people with cognitive impairments in a residential care home during the final stages of their lives, in order to enable them to die with dignity within that care home? This question lies at the heart of my work. A key finding of my work is that end-of-life care for people with cognitive impairments is no different from that provided to people without such impairments. Social care workers simply need to be mindful of the specific characteristics that people with cognitive impairments bring to the situation. Further training and the concept of palliative care can support social care workers in their work, helping them to become more professional and making this difficult task easier for them.
