Unlock the secrets to resilient caregiving with this hard-to-put-down guide: from managing mood swings and memory loss to handling the emotional strain and logistical puzzles, "Dealing with Dementia for Caregivers" puts over 70 critical resources literally at your fingertips. It's designed to empower you with practical advice and real-world solutions, providing relief and guidance as you care for someone with dementia. This book strives to be a source of strength and strategy, helping you to manage each day and every daunting situation effectively and compassionately.
If you're reading this, you are no doubt searching for guidance through the complex world of dementia care -- and I'm here to tell you that, hands down, you've just found it. This book blends invaluable real-world advice, essential resources, and time-tested tips (with sprinkles of humor wherever appropriate), offering you the support you need to face challenging caregiving situations like no other book can. It breaks down many of the difficulties you're facing into easy-to-understand lingo -- since many of us are NOT doctors, nurses, or professionals in the healthcare field.
Not only that, but this straightforward guide will explain exactly why using reasonable, rational, and logical methods with your loved one could quite possibly do more harm than good.
Here's what Rev. Elizabeth Gioia, PhD, had to say about it:
"Do you feel exhausted, alone, and overwhelmed by caring for a loved one? S.R. Hatton expertly takes your hand and guides you on a journey through the maze of caring for a loved one with dementia. In a light-hearted manner, the author brings hope and humanity to a very harsh reality, balancing the very personal stories of caregivers with expert advice and invaluable guidance. It is a treasure chest of knowledge. I plan on buying a copy for everyone I know who is dealing with dementia."
Inside, you'll discover a bounty of information, all served with a side of cheer:
• Real-world advice from caregivers who've definitely been there and have absolutely done that
• An engaging rundown of the five types and seven stages of dementia, making the complex a little less daunting and a lot more manageable
• Practical tips on keeping your loved one's life (and your sanity) on a regular schedule, complete with tips & resources to design a daily care plan that's actually doable
• Jam-packed with over 70 essential resources and checklists -- hopefully, more than you'll ever need
• Smart strategies for the serious stuff: legal, financial planning, and exploring care options for when home care just isn't enough anymore
• A crash course in self-care to prevent your own burnout -- because sometimes, you just need to put your feet up and have a good cry
• Insights into 62 of the most common caregiving mistakes -- because forewarned is forearmed (and less embarrassed)
• A peek at a promising, little-known treatment for dementia -- something you probably never, ever thought about but could make a difference!
• What to say (and not to say) when the inevitable happens -- the most focused and compassionate real-world advice for what to say and do when the "longest goodbye" comes to a close.
Dealing with Dementia for Caregivers offers more than advice; it offers a perspective that respects both the gravity and the absurdity of caregiving. It encourages you to embrace both the tears and the occasional laughter, providing a holistic approach to managing one of life's most demanding and challenging roles in the most graceful way possible.
