Basic Understanding of Dementia: The Healthcare Practitioner’s Guide
$16.95

Evaluating and treating patients with dementia is complex and requires specialized clinical knowledge. The occurrence rate of dementia in the older adult population is high, especially in residential care settings. Whether or not incidences of dementia continue to increase, the actual prevalence of dementia will continue to rise for some time to come. Cognitive impairments and their associated functional risks are defining features of dementia and should be clinical targets of intervention.

The primary goal of this book is to provide a foundational understanding of dementia that is applicable to providers across the healthcare spectrum. Our aim is not to present a comprehensive overview of dementia but rather to equip the reader with the essentials that can be applied to his or her area of practice. This book is therefore more than a primer of dementia but less than a complete compendium.

This practitioner’s guide is the ideal resource for understanding the basics of dementia for professionals from all healthcare disciplines.

The BrainSharp Exercise Book
$19.95

The BrainSharpTM Exercise Book offers accessible, fun, and generally familiar exercises. These exercises are designed to improve cognitive performance and everyday functioning, while also serving as part of a cognitive “workout” routine to help mitigate dementia risk. The book is divided into three sections, each one containing cognitive exercises that target specific brain skills. The exercises recruit the brain’s prefrontal cortex; which is responsible for attention, planning, problem-solving, and decision-making; the hippocampus, which is central to memory; the visual cortex; and specific motor regions.

The BrainSharpTM Exercise Book includes three specific exercise types: mazes, word scrambles, and word searches. Doing exercises that are fun and familiar to people often increases the likelihood of completion. The exercises range in difficulty level from relatively easy to very challenging.

To achieve best results, combine The BrainSharp™ Exercise Book with The BCAT® Working Memory Exercise Book – Home Edition. This bundle offers countless hours of cognitive exercises that you can complete at home or on the go. Learn more about The Brain Health Workout Kit here.

Basic Understanding of Dementia: The Healthcare Practitioner’s Guide
Quick View
Basic Understanding of Dementia: The Healthcare Practitioner’s Guide
$16.95

Evaluating and treating patients with dementia is complex and requires specialized clinical knowledge. The occurrence rate of dementia in the older adult population is high, especially in residential care settings. Whether or not incidences of dementia continue to increase, the actual prevalence of dementia will continue to rise for some time to come. Cognitive impairments and their associated functional risks are defining features of dementia and should be clinical targets of intervention.

The primary goal of this book is to provide a foundational understanding of dementia that is applicable to providers across the healthcare spectrum. Our aim is not to present a comprehensive overview of dementia but rather to equip the reader with the essentials that can be applied to his or her area of practice. This book is therefore more than a primer of dementia but less than a complete compendium.

This practitioner’s guide is the ideal resource for understanding the basics of dementia for professionals from all healthcare disciplines.

3D Behavior Manual

3D Behavior Manual
$54.00

The original 3D manual was written in 2016 to support the 3D dementia program and to provide an educational and training foundation for healthcare professionals interested in non-pharmacological behavior management of patients with dementia. Managing the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) is very challenging, and solid evidence-based models are necessary to achieve success in reducing behavior symptoms and psychological distress. Success with 3D facilitates right-sizing psychotropic utilization, care outcomes, and improves the social milieu in residential care settings.

This third edition of the manual was written to reflect new research conducted at the BCAT® Research Center in Maryland, USA and development of additional instruments (e.g., the Columbia Behavior Scale for Dementia or CBS-8). In this version of the manual, we include additional resources and tools for effective intervention.

This manual is the definitive guide for helping healthcare professionals across disciplines to better manage BPSDs in older adults.
