What was your first reaction when your loved one had been diagnosed with dementia?

Perhaps like many who find themselves in a similar situation, you felt immediate sadness and grief.

Maybe you also felt afraid… since you’re uncertain of what the coming days will be like and how it would affect your loved one.

It’s completely understandable – after all, dementia has been branded “the silent thief,” stealing a person’s memories, identity, and independence.

The key is to have a better understanding of dementia so you’ll know how to face it head-on. Fortunately, this book will provide you with everything you need to know so you can hold your loved one’s hand – literally and figuratively – while addressing their needs.

Inside, here is just a small fraction of what you will discover:

• What happens inside the mind of a person with dementia… and why they become completely different than they used to be as the condition progresses
• 100+ practical steps to take care of your loved one with dementia – how to meet their needs from nutrition and hygiene, to sleeping and coping with memory loss
• How to effectively communicate with them… and what to avoid saying to them at all costs!
• The 7 most challenging behaviors of someone with dementia and how you can deal with each without reaching your breaking point
• Why some caregivers give in to burnout – what you should do so you don’t suffer the same fate

And much more.

Contrary to popular belief, it is very possible for people with dementia to live a high-quality life… with the help of their loved ones.

Remember, they are still the same person – your parent or sibling or any family member – who values relationships, finds excitement in social interactions, and desires positive feelings that can last even after their memory fades.
