Caring for someone with dementia is challenging. Constant anxiety and stress can make routine care a heavy burden for family and loved ones. How can you help someone who doesn't understand what's happening, feels confused, and resists your help? Brent Forester and Thomas Harrison have written a book for those who want to improve the life of a loved one without ruining their own.
Every case of dementia is unique, and every situation in which you have to care for someone with dementia is also unique. Caring for a parent with this condition is completely different from caring for a person with any other, 'normal' illness.
The authors explain how to recognize the signs of this incurable disease, how it progresses at each stage, and what you should prepare for in advance. This book offers practical advice on how to overcome the everyday, medical, and psychological challenges associated with caring for someone with dementia. You'll learn how to communicate better with your loved one, ensure their safety and comfort, manage challenging behavior, and maintain your own mental health. This book aims to help you rethink your role as a caregiver so you can reduce stress, become healthier and happier, and provide genuine care for your loved one.
