For people living with dementia, arts and creative practice can be vital, improving their quality of life by getting involved in collaborative projects and creating communities. This practical guide outlines why arts programs are so important for dementia care, the current state of arts in dementia care and how to implement creative arts programs as a practitioner or arts organisation.

Bringing together case studies from practitioners across the field, from music and poetry to theatre and dance, this book explores the core skills needed to achieve positive outcomes. The chapters foreground the lived experience of people living with dementia, showcase examples of good practice, revisit and update practice values, knowledge and skills and signpost resources.

Full of expert information, clear practical guidance and recommendations for resources, this is an essential book for anyone looking to develop creative programs for people living with dementia.
