You never imagined you'd be the one making life-and-death decisions for your mom or dad. Now what?

When Alzheimer’s or dementia strikes someone you love, it can feel like you're suddenly in charge of everything—without a roadmap. This real-world dementia survival guide answers with detailed and practical advice the exact questions every caregiver ends up facing:

• What if Mom refuses to leave her home, even when it’s no longer safe?

• When do I take away Dad's car keys—or checkbook?

• Should I correct her when she says things that are just plain false?

• What do I do when she accuses me of stealing or drives me crazy with her repeated questions?

• How do I handle sundowning, wandering, angry outbursts, and bathing battles?

Written by a veteran primary care doctor whose parents both had Alzheimer's and lived with her and a caregiver who’s walked the same road with her mother and husband, this updated 2025 edition offers the newest medical insight, emotional wisdom, and practical tools you won’t find in most Alzheimer’s books to tackle every one of these thorny issues.

✅ Inside you’ll find:

• A doctor’s easy-to-understand breakdown of how Alzheimer’s progresses

• Step-by-step strategies for handling every difficult behavior at every stage of dementia from earliest memory impairment to death.

• Crucial self-care advice to protect your own health and sanity while caregiving your loved one.

• Brand-new updates on the Lecanemab infusion and the Lumipulse blood test.

• Practical tips from one of the nation's leading memory centers, Abe’s Garden.

• And yes—a little humor to help you survive the hard days

Whether you're just beginning your caregiving journey or knee-deep in daily challenges, this book delivers clear answers, comfort, and a touch of hope from two caregivers who have been there and done that.
