Life Giving Dementia Care: Let's Talk: How to Bring Confidence, Compassion and Joy Into Your Role as a Caregiver (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736179703)

GET CONFIDENCE, GIVE COMPASSION, FIND JOY AS A CAREGIVER

Someone you love has a dementia diagnosis, and you're their main caregiver. What now? Where do you get help and what should you do first? What if you make mistakes and hurt them instead of help? What about the cost - do they have the resources to pay for care? And your family, friends, and boss - will they understand the new demands on your time and support you? Or will everything fall apart? CAN YOU REALLY DO THIS?

Life Giving Dementia Care guides you to be a confident, compassionate caregiver for your loved one and for yourself. It's like chatting with a friend who has "been there and done that," candidly sharing their own fears, pain, joys, and lessons learned as a caregiver. Part how-to, part memoir, this book shows you step-by-step what to expect and how to plan from early symptoms and diagnosis through estate settlement. Inside you'll learn about:

• Symptoms, Diagnosis & Planning
• Being a Caregiver
• Adding Care Professionals
• Hospice & End-Of-Life
• Settling the Estate

Poignant and humorous, Life Giving Dementia Care will help you strengthen your confidence and compassion, leading you to find joy. With patience, understanding, and a dedicated support community...YOU CAN DO THIS!
