Dementia poses a profound and difficult journey for those directly affected, and for their loved ones and caregivers too. Life at home goes through a significant change, but with the right tools, some patience and compassion, it is possible to create a fulfilling home environment while caring for a loved one with dementia.
This book is full of valuable guidance and support as you navigate the transition from intimate relationship to the role of compassionate caregiver. It explores the foundations of understanding the person with dementia and the daily challenges they may encounter, while also offering insights that help caregivers to forge a healthy approach to understanding their loved ones and themselves. The second part of the book is an A-Z exploration of issues that caregivers face when living with a person with dementia.
Each chapter is skilfully interwoven with real-life anecdotes that will enhance the readers understanding and connection to the material, making this the perfect resource for family caregivers of people with dementia.
This was selected as one of the books for national distribution to municipal libraries in the UK under the Books on Prescription Scheme in 2015.
