A hopeful and practical guide to taming the challenges of dementia with creative interventions inspired by real stories of sufferers and caregivers alike.
If you've ever cared for someone with dementia, you might empathize with Alice, who tumbled down a rabbit hole and discovered herself in an unhappy world where time moved oddly, animals and plants spoke, but mostly to berate you. Familiar objects became terribly out of scale. If you're caring for someone with dementia now, you might feel like someone changed the rules of reality and that you need a guide, preferably someone kinder than the perennially late rabbit.
This book supports the journey—taken by both the caregiver and the person with dementia—providing loved ones with practical recommendations and enriched with human empathy. This book helps ease the stress by offering interventions and non-pharmaceutical therapeutic suggestions. It helps decode dementia's visceral world and supports non-cognitive human experiences. It shares stories of real people struggling to survive the challenges presented by dementia paired with practical examples of interventions that target the miseries of dementia behaviors, triggers, and causalities induced by them. The book provides options in the art of caregiving alongside the power of place, furnishings, light, color, technology, nature, and the senses.
Barbara Huelat explores options in human engagement, the experience of destinations, positive distractions, familiar settings, furnishings, light, color, technology, nature, and the emotion of the senses. She offers design interventions that support the family caregivers in functional and emotional outcomes. No cure exists for dementia, but the tips, tools, strategies and suggestions include here provide tools for caregivers and those with dementia to make the experience more comfortable and calm.©2023 Rowman & Littlefield Pub Group (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reseñas de la crítica
Dementia takes a toll on loved ones, and Huelat, with her daughter, Pochron, offers a candid account of lessons learned during her own caregiving journeys. She watched over her mother, diagnosed with Parkinson’s and dementia, and her husband, diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Huelat’s well-written guide should appeal to a broad audience since dementia is the most common disability among the elderly.… She offers sound ideas such as installing motion-sensor lights by bathrooms and stairs, using clothing with Velcro and snaps, exploring the outdoors, making a playlist of favorite music, and reminiscing with photo albums. “Our people have had long and rich and interesting lives,” Huelat writes. “The dementia part is only a short chapter.” Helpful and uplifting.
We are all caregivers at some point in our lives but taking care of a loved one is often not openly discussed. This remarkable book dares to be honestly raw about caring for a loved one with dementia. Compassion, frustration, tears, patience, impatience, acceptance, guilt – the full range of emotions experienced by both those with dementia as well as those providing the care. Exhaustive emotions that run in a circle while you grieve the loss of a person you once knew. There is only the present moment a caregiver gets to see, a glimpse, a hug, a tear, a touch, and hope for a brief glimmer of recognition. This amazing, empathetic, book covers not only the experiences through personal stories but provides evidence-based insights and solutions to help all caregivers cope with the process of caring for a loved one with dementia, or “our person” as so poignantly referenced in Taming the Chaos of Dementia. This is a book for everyone to read – as it sparks the humanity in all of us. (Jane Rohde, AIA, FIIDA, ASID, CHID, ACHA, EDAC, principal of JSR Associates, Inc. and founder of Live Together, Inc.)
Taming the Chaos of Dementia brings valuable insight in how dementia induced behaviors of anxiety and confusion can be moderated with simple home environment interventions like color, sound, light and sensory engagement. For caregivers seeking to practice creative approaches enriching the lives of those journeying with dementia while caring for self, this book provides an insightful path for practical problem solving.
