Very In-Depth Book
My father-in-law has Alzheimer's – caring for him has been both a deep emotional, and very practical, challenge. It is difficult to find resources that don’t just focus on ‘5 easy tips for caring for your loved one with dementia’ – but this book is the closest I have found to a roadmap for advanced dementia care. It is detailed and approachable, and it has helped us better appreciate the complexities of his condition, and therefore manage it a little more effectively. It has also helped me take better care of myself in the process as well.

Well researched, presented, and highly recommended
"Dementia" by Francis Publications is an excellent resource that could benefit anyone who needs to care for someone suffering from dementia. The author has tried (and succeeded) to be comprehensive, but the book is concise - there's little wasted verbiage. Also, unlike many other books of this type, they have focused on more advanced issues. That said, there are a slew of practical tips that cover things like hygiene, behavioral issues, and medications.
But a purely technical guide probably wouldn't be as helpful as this one. There are several, sometimes memorable, real-life anecdotes, and they really help connect the reader to the wider society as it addresses dementia. It certainly gives the impression that the listener is not alone, though it does not dismiss the difficulties that dementia caregiving poses. I very much appreciated the empathy in the writing and narration.
There is also a great emphasis on self-care. Feeling burnt out and oppressed by circumstances is a terrible experience, and it certainly hampers one's ability to care for others properly. This audiobook has a lot of great info on how to protect yourself from the emotional toll of caring for someone with dementia. I really think this is one of the good ones in this genre. Francis Publications has done an excellent job, and the listener stands to benefit greatly from the well-researched and presented advice in this book.
