Don't Leave Momma Home With the Dog: Why Caregivers Do What They Do! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425127053)

The Author is a Professional with over 20 years experience in 24-hour care for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. However, when faced with traveling "The Dementia Journey" with her own Mother, she personally experienced the agony and pleasure of caring for a loved one with dementia. She shares through her own poignant story how in the zeal to keep "unmade promises" and to "take care of our own" that caregivers can actually put their loved one "In Harms Way". The author, who is well known for the "Ten Absolutes" for successful communication with a person with dementia, introduces a new "Ten Absolutes" for caregiver decision making. Caregivers who read this book will better understand "why they do what they do", and as a bonus will receive understanding, reassurance, and tools! Professionals in Alzheimer's Care, both Providers and Marketers of care, will receive the insider 'scoop' for a clear understanding of what families need and why.
