Front page of Down Syndrome Scotland's Living with Dementia booklet

This booklet produced by Down Syndrome Scotland is full of practical ways to create a "dementia friendly" home as well as advice for changing the way we interact with a person living with dementia to enable them to feel calm and secure, despite their declining skills.

This document guides a person through a series of questions to help them make choices about the type of medical treatments they prefer, their end of life wishes, who they want to speak on their behalf if they cannot and what the want to happen after their death. It is written in language that is easy to understand.
