About this listen

Ease your fears and embrace a caring, kind approach to looking after your loved one with dementia.

Has a parent or close family member been diagnosed with dementia, and you have no idea what happens next?

Are you worried about not having the knowledge you need to care for them properly and give them the quality of life they deserve?

Are you concerned about the impact that this could have on your own well-being as a caregiver?

Then keep listening…

There are an estimated 6.5 million people in the US who suffer from dementia—a statistic that is only anticipated to increase as time goes on.

As their condition worsens, patients become increasingly unable to care for themselves and have to rely on someone else, usually a loved one, to look after them.

As a caregiver, it can be incredibly intimidating and often anxiety-inducing to have so many responsibilities, and challenges thrust upon you.

Especially for those without any experience, caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming—you don’t want the guilt of making mistakes.

This comprehensive guide will ease your worries and reassure you about everything you need to know to take care of your loved one as they progress through the stages of dementia.

Learn tips and tricks from an experienced author who will take you through all the important stuff—from diagnosis to end-of-life care.

In this guide, you will discover:

  • Seven types of dementia, including their causes and symptoms, to prepare yourself for what happens next
  • A succinct and useful guide to the diagnostic process
  • Seven ways to combat behavior issues of any type
  • Physical and psychological changes that could happen—and what do to if these become a problem
  • Problem-solving strategies to help you manage sundowning, hallucinations, delusions, aggression, apathy, and more
  • Information on making mealtimes easier and tips to help them eat properly—learn what they should be consuming in their diet to stay healthy, including a quick reference guide for finger foods
  • What (and what not!) to say to someone with dementia—avoid behavioral problems and conflicts by learning these tips early on
  • Tips on looking after your own health—don’t neglect your well-being, as a caregiver, you need some TLC too!
  • Advice on long-term care solutions so you can have everything planned in advance to make those transitions easier to manage
  • And much more.

You can still make a whole host of fantastic memories with your loved one. Make the best of your situation and give them the care they need to continue living a meaningful life.

This audible was well timed as my nan is suffering with dementia and as a family we wanted to gain some experience from the professionals and people who have been through the process already. There are lots of really terrifying decisions we need to make on behalf of our nan and it involves the whole family which is problematic in itself. This audible was great at giving logical advice that followed a great structure. Well narrated and a must listen for anyone going through the Dementia care giving journey.

This book covers so many important things we need to know starting with understanding this memory disease. diagnosis for the person, nutrition, and planning for long-term care. I enjoyed listening to Chapter 9 where it is important, as the caregiver, to take care of myself. If I don't care of me, how will I be able to take care of my loved one? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this audiobook if you are, or will be, taking care of a person with dementia

Anyone who deals with dementia patients or lives with someone who has dementia absolutely needs to have this audiobook in their collection. Given that my grandpa is now suffering from dementia, the timing of my sister's introduction to it couldn't have been better. In order to take care of our grandfather, we were having to make a number of choices that were utterly terrible, and the fact that these decisions are going to have an effect on the whole family adds an additional degree of complexity to the problem. This audio did an excellent job of presenting helpful information that was organized in a manner that was extremely pleasing to the ear. The narrative was told very clearly, and it is imperative that everyone who will be treading the route of providing care to someone with dementia listen to it now before they start. This is a book that I will wholeheartedly suggest to anybody and everyone since it enlightens us on how to care for and assist those living with dementia.

Great Book.

I loved how this book shared so much valuable information in such an empathetic way. I went through this with my father-in-law years ago and this book would have been so helpful.
Understanding the many different characteristics and behaviors can bring insight to coping with the individual in a compassionate manner. There are so many wonderful tips and strategies to help reduce the possibility of upset and confusion. Recognizing triggers, having routines and self-care for the care giver.
It also discusses the very important and difficult topic of end of life choices.

Beneficial information!
