The Care and Feeding of Caregivers: Caring for Those Who Care for People with Dementia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781095402344)

There is a lot of information available on how to care for a person with dementia. However, there is another person needing care: the caregiver. Statistics show that 40% of caregivers of dementia patients die of stress related disorders before their caree does. Dr. Garmon interviewed 42 caregivers of people with dementia for her book "I Am Not Alone: Conversations with Care Partners of People with Dementia" and has been caring for her husband with ALS and FTD (frontotemporal degeneration) since he was diagnosed in 2016. Through her personal experience and the writing of her first book, she has found simple and easy ways to support the caregiver. Don't let dementia take two victims. Learn more about who the caregivers are and what they need. It doesn't take much to make a big difference.
