Practical ideas to keep your love one engaged with life Do you have a loved one who has gone from independent living to some kind of assisted living - be it in home, retirement home or nursing care? This isn't a medical book, or a book specifically targeting dementia or Alzheimer 's disease. It won't help you to find suitable aged care, nursing care facility, respite or at home care. What it will do, is provide you with ideas to keep your loved one stimulated and feeling a part of family life. It's about quality of life for both your loved one and you as a family.
