Living Well with Sensory Loss and Dementia

Understand how to do effective care for people with dementia and sensory loss such as hearing and vision loss. With a unique person-centred approach, this one-stop guide provides practical strategies for support that help improve day-to-day living for people with dementia.

Sensory loss and dementia often co-exist. When this happens, people may face a complex cross-over of symptoms, presenting the challenge of how to manage multiple conditions and provide support to minimise the effect on day-to-day life.

In each chapter, this question is addressed through topics such as tests, treatments, communication support strategies, adapting living spaces, assistive devices and more. How symptoms of sensory loss can be mistaken for the effects of dementia is revealed, and strategies for successful assessment are provided. By incorporating the voices of people with lived experience of visual and hearing loss in combination with dementia, and their families, you are equipped with the knowledge to provide person-centred support.
