Among the many issues surrounding dementia are those of understanding it, knowing what to expect, and planning appropriate care. Adopting a holistic approach, coupled with the correct information can provide a means of confidently charting a path ahead. Written by an experienced family caregiver and MSc graduate in dementia studies, this in-depth book helps map the way forward from initial diagnosis to living well with dementia at home and everything in-between.

Here’s a preview of what you’ll discover in this thoughtful and practical guide:

• What is dementia, what are its characteristics, and how does it change a person

The author of this book is an insider who knows what it is like to live with and care for a family member with dementia and has therefore made this resource extremely simple and concise so it can be easily understood.

It is hoped that after reading this book, you’ll develop a deeper sense of what is dementia, what it curtails, and acquire a renewed sense of compassion for yourself if you have received a diagnosis of dementia or are caring for someone who has dementia.
