This is essential reading if we are to overcome ageism and support our valued citizens to live in a state of becoming until their last breath.Â
This is definitely the book that had to be written. I would recommend it to all practitioners of older people.

Tell Me...
Is your loved one currently living in residential care or likely to move into care in the near future?
OR
Do you work in aged care and find that many of your clients experience emotional changes during transition, but you are uncertain how to best help them?
Until recently, most older people received in-home care from family – but an ageing population, higher prevalence of dementia and an increase in the retirement age and financial burdens has resulted in a sharp rise in those moving into residential aged care.
The transition into care is often overwhelming and loved ones and aged care workers receive limited information on how to provide emotional support during the change.
I have dedicated my career to improving the wellbeing of older people and have written this book to share my proven and easy to follow non-drug strategies for residential care settings that focus on the strengths and abilities of older people, rather than their limitations.

| found this book to be very informative. It is insightful
As | have a mother in aged care and work in aged care for over 40 years, | found this book to be very informative. It is insightful and in my opinion should be read by all relatives wanting to place their loved ones into an aged care facility and all employees in the aged care industry. Well done Dr Julie!

A must for anyone working at any level with elderly people.
I have just finished reading the book - covering everything from emotional, positive and meaningful care, stories from clients and health professionals that Julie has spoken to over her career and tips for change (the animals in residential homes really struck a cordwith me).
This book will help me not only with my voluntary work and studies, but in my future job roles.
