Powerful and Timely!

My mom has been showing signs of dementia, so when I saw this book, I grabbed it fast. I am so very thankful that this author has put together this guide. I realize that a lot of my fears were based on being ignorant of the facts surrounding dementia. It can be very overwhelming for those caring for someone living with dementia, so the more you know, the better it will be for you and your loved one. The do's and dont's in this book have prepared my sisters and me for what may come and will certainly give us a stronger foundation to work on and support our mom. This will make a good gift for families and friends also. Great job!

Knowledge to thrive through giving

This is such an important piece of work! Caring for a loved one with dementia (or even other degenerative conditions) can hit us out of nowhere. It is already difficult to deal with the fact that our beloved are changing and might not be acting like themselves, but caring for another human can be so draining. This listen is informative as it covers the types + stages of dementia and basic information about this condition, but it also provides much needed tools for caregivers to cope and maintain their own health and well-being through these challenging times. I will listen once again and write a checklist of things to remember (behavior, meds, nutrition, etc).

Dementia explained

This is a great book on dementia. It is great that this book is written by someone with first hand experience in dealing with this disease. This is a great reference for anyone needing to care for someone with the disease. I highly recommend this book.

Give Your Loved One the Best Memories

I know how hard it is to watch someone you love disappear into themselves and become a shell of who they used to be. It breaks your heart every time they forget a moment you shared or something you know they cherished. I listened to this book across a number of days and ended up wishing I had had it about five years ago. There are things I would have done differently, I know that for sure. I felt comforted, though - like someone really, truly, understands, and that's the main reason I would recommend this book.

much-needed assistance

The title is accurate. This book successfully untangled all the tangles around this subject and offers caregivers, family members, and friends much-needed assistance. Narrated in an engaging manner, with the intention of offering aids, advice, and direction. I now know a great deal more than I did before. Sometimes it is difficult to witness someone with this condition being so helpless, but with this guide, any uncertainty over how to behave at various times and in various circumstances is eliminated. Excellent work.

Perfect for a new dementia caregiver

There are sooooooo many amazing tips and helpful tricks for dealing with someone who has dementia. It can be so overwhelming and honestly lonely when you're taking care of a loved one with dementia and its easy to feel lost. I had no idea how to handle my grandpa when he starting going through the early stages of dementia, especially when he would yell at me and perseverate on things that were out of mine and his control. This audiobook couldn't have been more helpful in guiding me through these rough waters. It goes into detail on describing how dementia onsets and how to understand what someone with dementia is thinking and how their mind works. I can't recommend this audiobook enough.

a helpful handbook

Dealing with dementia isn't easy. For both the person with dementia, and people caring for the person as well. This book is a very helpful handbook for caregivers who look after people with dementia. The book starts with the definition of dementia, types of dementia, and stages of dementia. With a deep understanding of dementia, we'd be better equipped to recognize different behaviors. The book also introduces how to take care of people with dementia from many perspectives, and the caregiver self-care as well.

So helpful

Having a family member suffer from dementia is incredibly challenging. It can really take its toll on everyone involved. This is an incredibly helpful resource and provides priceless insights.

Packed with Information

This book has so much information on what you should know about the early stages of dementia. It's well organized and the narrator is easy to listen to. There are so many things and ideas I wouldn't have thought about when I found out my aunt had dementia. Listening to this book while going to and from work will keep those ideas fresh in your mind so you can apply them daily. A great gift to a new caregiver of a dementia patient or someone taking care of a dementia patient. I highly recommend!

Great Book!

Dementia runs strong in my family. I have been with and helped care for senior members of my family while suffering from Dementia. I wish I had this book sooner!

What I was interested in the most was the nine early warning signs to look out for. This was especially important since I will likely suffer from this disease one day.

This book was well researched, well written, and well narrated!
