Life changes dramatically for the entire family when the decision
is made to move a person who has dementia from home to community
care. Rachael Wonderlin, a gerontologist, dementia care expert, and
popular dementia care blogger, helps caregivers cope with the
difficult behaviors, emotions, and anxieties that both they and
their loved one may experience. Writing from her own practice and
drawing on the latest research in gerontology and dementia,
Wonderlin explains the different kinds of dementia, details the
wide range of care communities available for people who have
dementia, and speaks empathetically to the worry and guilt many
families feel. "Do not let anyone make you feel like you have taken
the 'easy way out' by choosing a dementia care community," she
writes. "You are still going to deal with a lot of challenging
behaviors, concerns, and questions regarding your loved one's
care." When Someone You Know Is Living in a Dementia Care Community
is an accessible guide offering answers to such questions as: * How
do I choose a place for my loved one to live?* What can I find out
by visiting a candidate memory-care community twice?* What do I do
if my loved one asks about going home?* How can I improve the
quality of my visits?* What is the best way to handle conflict
between residents, or between the resident and staff?* How can I
cope with my loved one's sundowning?* What do I do if my loved one
starts a romantic relationship with another resident? An
indispensable book for family members and friends of people with
dementia, When Someone You Know is Living in a Dementia Care
Community touches the heart while explaining how to make a
difficult situation better.
