The Caregiver's Guide to Dementia: Practical Advice for Caring for Yourself and Your Loved One (Caregiver's Guides)

This book is great on how to get started caring for your loved one with Alzheimer’s. It gives clear instructions on how to handle things, when to do it and how to take care of yourself too.

I am a retired nurse and now a caregiver to my husband who has dementia. I had no idea how to navigate this terrifying journey with him. This book is outstanding in so many ways, with details that seem to cover so much , and I love that the author is a nurse too.

I ordered multiple books for caregiving and I had highlighted something on nearly every page of this book when I was done. This is the most practical and encouraging book that I have read on caregiving for dementia. It cover the whole gamut from guilt to finances to meds to therapists/doctors, etc. Lots of resources in the back and tips to keep your own sanity and when it may be time to move to a care facility. Buy this for every member of the patient’s family!

This book was really informative about what you’re going to be dealing with and how to better deal with it some of the stuff in there not even my father‘s doctors had mentioned to us and we had to mention to them to get done like the therapy part of it.

I cannot recommend The Caregiver's Guide to Dementia enough! As a caregiver for my mother who was diagnosed with dementia, this book has been an absolute lifesaver. The practical advice and tips provided in the guide have helped me navigate through the challenges of caregiving, while also taking care of myself. The clear and concise language used in the book makes it easy to understand, even for those without a medical background. I am beyond grateful for this resource and would highly recommend it to anyone in a similar situation.

This is a very good book

Absolutely the best book on the market if you are dealing with a new dementia diagnosis in your family. I highlighted almost every page. Read this book!

Wonderful book , I haven't been able to sit down and really read it yet but the little that I have read is written well and interesting. They included a second book free about being a caretaker . This book was about a couple who were forced to deal with the wife developing MS, leading to her complete disability and eventual death. It was an a disturbing reality as , though the vendor had no way of knowing of course, I am dealing with my own MS. It was rather disconcerting to read her devastating course of her disease. The disease symptoms I have are quite different from the authors wife but it was a bit scary to read . The book about dementia I think will be helpful and I am glad I ordered it. The order came quickly , was packaged well and would be a great addition to anyone's collection that is dealing with this horrible disease in their family. I must say it was a nice thing for the seller to add the second book as a gift , I know it would be very helpful for others to receive.

I bought this for my father whom is my mother caregiver. It is one of the most valuable books we have ever had. My father is amazed at how it’s helped him in caring for my mother. Thank you so much. We can not express our gratitude and appreciation.

Loved the whole of the book, gave an insight and understanding of what to expect further along with my mom who suffers with mixed dementia

Found this very helpful and understand dementia as my husband going threw thisNot so frustrating too as U relize they do not rember and it easier to try not tell them that you already told them

This is a very informative book. The printing is grey. I wish it was black. It's not great for senior caregivers with eye issues. It's still a very well written book!

Excellent book that is easy to read and great adviceGiven us lots of information and guidanceDefinitely recommend to any struggling to know what to do when caring for a loved one with dementia
