Some time back I listed resources that had been helpful to me. Here are some more
Two books:
Tina English: A Great Place to Grow Old, London, Darton, Longman & Todd, 2021
A simple and accessible introduction to working with older people in general. The chapter on Dementia gives a clear and comprehensive overview in just 20 pages, while the next chapter on Carers is helpful in examining the challenges that carers face and some resources for supporting them.
Wendy Mitchell, What I Wish People Knew About Dementia, From Someone Who Knows, London: Bloomsbury, 2022
Wendy Mitchell’s recent book describes some of the ‘strategies that enabled her to “live well with dementia”… a kind of how-to manual for people with the condition and those who support them.’ (Review by Nicci Gerrard in The Guardian, Tue 1 Feb 2022)
