Author Talk- Isabel Baker, A to Z of Dementia Care

Join registered nurse and author Isabel Baker for an informative and compassionate discussion about her book, The A-Z of Dementia Care.

With more than 35 years of experience working closely with people living with dementia and their families, Isabel brings a wealth of practical knowledge and understanding to this important topic. Throughout her career, she has supported individuals living with dementia and taught dementia care to aged care staff in both residential facilities and TAFE settings.

Passionate about improving the quality of life for people living with dementia, she advocates for care that is compassionate, informed, and person-centred. Her work focuses on recognising individual strengths and challenges, meeting physical and emotional needs, and creating safe, supportive environments where both people living with dementia and their carers can thrive.

During this author talk, Isabel will share insights from The A-Z of Dementia Care, a practical guide written for family carers, support workers, and aged care professionals. The book helps readers understand the different types of dementia, communicate more effectively, provide meaningful activities, recognise the causes of challenging behaviours, and learn strategies to prevent and manage stress for everyone involved.

Whether you are caring for a loved one, working in aged care, or simply interested in learning more about dementia, this session offers valuable information, practical strategies, and a deeper understanding of dementia care.

Come along to hear from an experienced dementia care educator and author, and discover how greater understanding can lead to more meaningful connections and improved quality of life for people living with dementia and those who support them.
