An encouraging and compassionate guide for dementia caregivers.
Caring for someone with dementia means devotedly and patiently
doing a hundred little things each day. But few care providers are
trained to meet the challenges of dementia-despite the fact that
millions of people will struggle with it as they grow older. In A
Loving Approach to Dementia Care, Laura Wayman, who is known
professionally as the Dementia Whisperer, offers practical,
compassionate advice on overcoming caregiving obstacles and
maintaining meaningful relationships with loved ones who have
dementia and memory loss. In this thoroughly revised third edition,
Wayman includes * answers to common caregiver questions, such as
"What is dementia?" * a detailed explanation of how to cope with
and care for a spouse with dementia symptoms, including advice
about communication * a new chapter on caring for someone who has
dementia along with other health problems * recommendations about
how to handle challenging situations and behaviors * dementia-aware
activities that work for both family caregivers and professional
care staff * fresh caregiving insights that emphasize the
importance of taking time to care for oneself Each chapter contains
two sections-"Lessons Learned" and "Perceptions and
Approaches"-which provide details about how readers can apply
lessons from the stories Wayman tells to their own caregiving
practice. Providing support for the numerous difficulties and
disruptions that all caregivers face along the way, A Loving
Approach to Dementia Care is an empathetic guide filled with
respect, calm, and creativity. It will leave readers feeling
empowered and inspired.
