Twenty-four-year-old care innovator Teun Toebes has a mission: to improve the quality of life of people living with dementia. This is his powerful account of a journey around the world to explore how dementia is dealt with in other countries
'Toebes' vision for the future of care is one in which we all pitch in' The Times
After his international bestselling book The Housemates made headlines across Europe, Teun Toebes travelled to explore how communities and care systems are handling dementia care across the world, from South Africa to New Zealand, Norway to Japan. This extraordinary book is powerful, revealing and uplifting, and suggests cross-cultural ideas for making the future more hopeful and inclusive for people living with a form of dementia.
What we can learn from each other? A book for anyone caring for the older generation or hoping to one day grow old happily themselves.
