Caregiving for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is
hard but with this book, you and your family will successfully face
the challenges that these diseases present. Dementia is a very
common neurological disease of aging affecting millions of people
in complex ways. There are multiple forms of the dementia,
including Alzheimer's Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal
Dementia, and vascular dementia, among others, and many share
features of slowly progressive and profound changes affecting
memory, thinking, behavior, and personality. The disease often
introduces personal and even financial strains, which can be at
times hard to understand. Unfortunately, most forms of dementia
have no definitive treatments to prevent, slow, or stop the
progression, but there is a concerted effort in the scientific
community to change this. There is a consistent hope that there
will soon be a new era of scientific breakthroughs impacting
dementia. Now, and in the future, patients with dementia, their
friends, and their families need resources to successfully face the
challenges introduced by the disease. Navigating Life with Dementia
is designed as a handbook including tools to manage both day-to-day
issues and to anticipate the long-term impact of the disease for
dementia patients as well as their friends and families. This
volume will help families in all stages of dementia care, beginning
with the earliest hints of cognitive problems through advanced
stages. In easily understood language, the book thoroughly covers
the complexities of the dementias, the establishment of a
diagnosis, what to expect throughout the stages of disease, and how
to best anticipate and manage common problems.
