The TLC Story - Moderate Dementia

A Guide for Caregivers of Loved Ones in the Moderate Stage of Alzheimer's and Related Dementia Diseases

"TLC" is a common language abbreviation for Tender Loving Care. It is also the monogram for Tom (the caregiver) and Laura (the loved one living with dementia) Connolly. Giving TLC is the minimum that a loved one living with dementia needs and deserves. This book builds on my previous book covering mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia.

The text provides specific and helpful information to guide people caring for a loved one in the moderate stage of dementia. It covers the plethora of challenging behaviors and a host of caregiving tactics, therapies, and strategies. Many tips and recommendations to achieve the goal of providing tender loving care are included. The book serves as an action plan to guide the caregiver as he or she goes forward. It provides a powerhouse of useful guidance and advice.

Laura's dementia was a life-changing event for both of us. Dealing with the challenges of this disease is difficult to imagine. After reading this book, you will gain an intimate knowledge of our experience and the know-how to proceed if thrust into this situation. The book will help a caregiver become proficient in providing Tender Loving Care to a loved one living with dementia.
