what I will be doing for my mom.lots of imfo

liked the whole book.And no dislikes glad I purchased book.Thanks for the help it was a 10 for certain

Good step by step guide

This book assumes a loving and caring relationship is in place between the caregiver and patient (usually adult child and parent). It is not ideal if you have less than perfect relationship and the caregiver’s role is more obligatory. The narration was great. Soothing. Appreciate the self care focus. But thought there was too much of it.

Peaceful narration of wonderfully helpful book

The title says it all. I have just begun my own journey with my mother, moving her across the country to be with my family. She is already beginning Stage 5 and it was hidden by an emotionally abusive recent husband. Besides the guilt, I am also shell shocked daily by all that she needs, we need, and I need. 10 days into caring for her 24/7, I desperately bought this audiobook. It’s the salve I needed. I’m going to buy the paper copy as well. Get this book, you’ll be glad you did.

Just the right book at the right time!

This was such a helpful book at the right time. I don't feel so alone with my feelings anymore.

Great Resource

This is a great compact book filled with useful information. It takes you through the caregiver experience and provides ways to be proactive in one’s journey. In addition, there are constant reminders to take care of you as a caregiver.

Wonderfully Touching and Expertly Written

I highly, highly suggest this book for anyone who is or may become a caretaker of someone with this disease. It’s clear, concise, and focuses on what’s important. Great book and very easy to listen to.

Very Good Book!!!!

I really enjoyed this book and found it to be very helpful for me as I too have recently become a Caregiver.
Thank You for the information.

Helpful Guidebook

I appreciated this helpful Guidebook. it was concise and loaded with information. I especially appreciated the focus on self-care and the inclusive examples.

A look into alzheimer's and stages to anticipate

This is an easy listen and well worth for families in any stage of the disease. You would benefit reading it earlier than later. My father is in stage 5-6 and wish I had the suggestions earlier. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help.

Great overview of all the stages of care

This book was very helpful in its presentations of scenarios and descriptions of how the caregivers handled their situations with loved ones who had Alz. I think this technique was very effective in helping the reader understand what tactics can be used when caring for their loved one, as well as relate to the emotions felt while going through this experience.

This book did a good job walking the reader through each stage of Alz and knowing what to expect and in describing what strategies can be used to care for the loved one, the importance of self-care, how to handle difficult or problematic situations, what to ask medical staff at each stage, etc. It spoke to the reader gently, while also keeping it real.
