This damning indictment by Dame Dorothy Tutin of her treatment in hospital at   the age of 70 propelled her daughter Amanda Waring into a crusade to ensure   that all older people in care are treated with kindness, compassion and   dignity. Amanda is now a widely respected filmmaker, public speaker and   teacher specialising in dignified care of the elderly. The Heart of Care   distils her experiences, covering such topics as : the transition from home   or hospital to care home ; creating person-centred, compassionate care homes;   coping with dementia ; creativity and activity in care ; honouring and   celebrating our elders ; maintaining spiritual and emotional care The Heart   of Care encourages all carers to look into themselves and question their   attitudes, prejudices and behaviour. Combining anecdote, reminiscence,   practical advice and role-model exercises that really work, Amanda Waring   gently motivates and educates us all to be better carers. Acknowledging that   the path can be hard, she includes tips and advice to keep carers engaged and   motivated when the going gets tough. As our population rapidly ages and more   and more people find themselves researching options for care of the elderly,   and as lurid and disturbing stories about substandard care hit the headlines   on a daily basis, we all need to look closely at these issues. Essential   reading for all who care for an elderly person, whether stranger or loved   one, The Heart of Care promotes respect for the dignity and intrinsic worth   of others, regardless of age or disability.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49525155037457,"sku":"GOR004438838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51477346844945,"sku":"GOR014295901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0285640879.jpg?v=1773914138"},{"product_id":"carer-s-bible-book-amanda-waring-9780285643994","title":"The Carer's Bible","description":"\"Let us recognise that those who are ending their lives in the frailty of old age deserve the same care and attention as those who are beginning their lives in the vulnerability of infancy.\" This accessible and detailed guide includes practical tips, checklists for best practice, descriptions of their experience from a wide range of carers that addresses solutions to common problems and expert advice on how to deliver compassionate and dignified care to older people.
