The Dementia Handbook: How to Provide Dementia Care at Home Kindle Edition from Amazon

Providing dementia care is profoundly stressful for families and caregivers. People with dementia or Alzheimer’s experience emotional distress, which leads to behavioral complications and the need for institutional care. However, if families and caregivers are able to identify the emotional needs caused by dementia and understand which skills are lost and which remain, they can lower the behavioral complications and their own stress.

Judy Cornish, Founder of the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Wellbeing Network® (DAWN), approaches dementia care with clear and empathetic methods that not only improve the lives of the individuals with dementia but also of those caring for them. A must have resource for all caregivers.
