Publisher's Synopsis
Caring for someone who has dementia is both challenging and rewarding. It is easy in the midst of it all to lose sight of the person. To care well requires knowledge, understanding and a compassionate way.
This little book for carers is an informative and empathetic resource, providing practical tips on how to handle behavioural changes in the person with dementia, techniques for effective communication and insight into the challenges faced while caring.
Weaving in extracts from the personal story of Mary who had dementia, provides a light-hearted backdrop to the advice and a sense of solidarity, and understanding, for those engaged in caring.
