This practical guide provides general caregiving tips and helps you
decide when and how to transition your loved one to a dementia care
community. Caring for someone with dementia is challenging,
especially when it comes time to think about other living
arrangements. What do you need to know about dementia, including
its different stages? What do you do if the person you're caring
for seems to have trouble recognizing you? When is it time to move
a person living with dementia into a senior living community? And
how can you maintain your relationship with your loved one when you
are living apart? Gerontologist and dementia care consultant
Rachael Wonderlin has written a compassionate book to help friends
and family members of those living with dementia answer these tough
questions-and more. In practical, down-to-earth language, The
Caregiver's Guide to Memory Care and Dementia Communities walks the
reader through key points about dementia care, including * common
terminology used by health care workers * strategies for taking
care of your loved one * advice for when and how to transition to a
dementia care community * understanding how dementia care
communities are structured and what to keep in mind when evaluating
them * how to help your loved one receive the best possible care
while they're living apart * recommendations for handling obstacles
involving communication and behavioral issues * information on
technology, hospice care, programming and activities, and at-home
safety A dedicated section called "Putting It into Practice" in
each chapter helps you apply the principles to your own experience,
while worksheets present you with questions to consider as part of
the caregiving and assessment process.
