Helpful advice

The book in general goes through each the dementia stage and talks about how to communicate with your dementia loved one. It also addresses some financial issues as well as health insurance needs, and the importance of support groups to better care for a loved one with dementia.

So helpful!

This book was so helpful! It's amazing the number of hurdles you face when your loved one is losing their mental competence. I needed to get a Power of Attorney and make all the medical and financial decisions for my mother, while still respecting her beliefs and needs, and keeping my sanity. This book is a lifesaver! I've relistened to several parts just to make sure I'm prepared for meetings with doctors and state employees.
