The Dementia Interface Lens
£2 DISCOUNT WHEN PURCHASED WITH ANOTHER PRODUCT
A concise framework for understanding connection in dementia
Written for families, carers and practitioners, The Dementia Interface Lens introduces a way of understanding dementia that does not equate diminished expression with diminished personhood.
Rather than focusing only on memory loss or decline, the book explores how dementia can disrupt the connection between inner experience and outward communication. It offers a practical, reflective framework for recognising moments of connection, responding with greater sensitivity, and staying oriented to the person rather than the symptoms.
Grounded in lived experience and informed by real-world practice, the thinking in this book underpins the dementia-inclusive activities developed by Timeless Presents and accredited by the Dementia Services Development Centre (DSDC) at the University of Stirling.
What Readers Are Saying
“What struck me most was not surprise, but recognition. The book affirms a truth many families feel but struggle to articulate: that consciousness, relationship, and emotional presence can endure even when memory and language falter. Giving shape to that understanding is not only compassionate, but necessary.”
— Steven Bentley, DementiaVision®

Reviews
For families, carers, activity coordinators, and anyone supporting people with dementia, this book offers both insight and reassurance. It bridges the emotional and practical realities of care, and it gives language to experiences many of us have lived without guidance. I only wish it had been available when my grandmother needed it — but I’m grateful to have it now for the people I support today.
