The First 90 Days After a Dementia Diagnosis: A Step-by-Step Action Plan for Families and Caregivers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185606629)

The diagnosis is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of a plan.
The days after a dementia diagnosis are loud with fear - and with pressure to fix everything at once. Sell the house, take the keys, call the lawyer, solve the whole future by Friday. That urgency is exactly where families make their most painful, hardest-to-undo mistakes.
This calm, practical guide slows the first ninety days down. It sorts the decisions that truly cannot wait from the ones that only feel that way, and it walks you through each one step by step - with the exact words to say when you don't know how to start.
Inside, you'll find:
- A week-by-week plan for the first 90 days - what to do first, and what NOT to do yet
- Word-for-word conversation scripts for driving, money, living alone, and legal planning
- The paperwork window that quietly closes - and how to act before it does
- How to respond when they ask the same question for the fortieth time
- Red flags that mean "call the doctor now," not later
- Real care for the caregiver: burnout, boundaries, grief, and keeping your own life
Written for the adult children and spouses of a newly diagnosed loved one, every chapter stands alone - read the one you need today and come back when the road turns. Checklists, decision guides, and gentle scripts turn overwhelm into next steps.
You don't have to see the whole path. Just the next step. Start today.
