Publisher's summary

Providing dementia care is profoundly stressful for families and caregivers. People with dementia or Alzheimer’s experience emotional distress, which leads to behavioral complications and the need for institutional care. However, if families and caregivers are able to identify the emotional needs caused by dementia and understand which skills are lost and which remain, they can lower the behavioral complications and their own stress.

As the founder of the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network® (DAWN), Judy Cornish approaches dementia care with clear and empathetic methods that improve the lives not only of the individuals with dementia but also of those caring for them.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are very personal and individual experiences - they vary from person to person. However, Cornish has identified a pattern in the abilities and disabilities of people living with dementia. Based on her findings, Cornish was able to develop methods for caregivers to ease emotional distress, which can quickly and safely resolve behavioral complications.

Though people with dementia lose a sense of self, they are still the same person you always loved. Judy Cornish understands this. The Dementia Handbook: How to Provide Dementia Care at Home is the supportive guide you’ve been looking for as you walk alongside your loved one on this difficult - but potentially rewarding - new path.

Good for Quick Info

Narrator's voice was excellent for this book.
The book itself was good for some quick information on dementia but I was looking for more in depth knowledge and tips.

Amazing!!!

I want too share this book with everyone! Either with or without Dementia either caregiver or not! I just wish I had read it 4 years ago when my mom was first diagnosed. I definitely would have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights. Thank you Judy Cornish for your wisdom.

Great information

I learned a lot of ways to communicate with my 92 year old father that has moved in with me and my family. I will be listening again several times till this communication becomes easy.
