About this listen
Ease your fears and embrace a caring, kind approach to looking after your loved one with dementia.
Has a parent or close family member been diagnosed with dementia, and you have no idea what happens next?
Are you worried about not having the knowledge you need to care for them properly and give them the quality of life they deserve?
Are you concerned about the impact that this could have on your own well-being as a caregiver?
Then keep listening…
There are an estimated 6.5 million people in the US who suffer from dementia—a statistic that is only anticipated to increase as time goes on.
As their condition worsens, patients become increasingly unable to care for themselves and have to rely on someone else, usually a loved one, to look after them.
As a caregiver, it can be incredibly intimidating and often anxiety-inducing to have so many responsibilities, and challenges thrust upon you.
Especially for those without any experience, caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming—you don’t want the guilt of making mistakes.
This comprehensive guide will ease your worries and reassure you about everything you need to know to take care of your loved one as they progress through the stages of dementia.
Learn tips and tricks from an experienced author who will take you through all the important stuff—from diagnosis to end-of-life care.
In this guide, you will discover:
- Seven types of dementia, including their causes and symptoms, to prepare yourself for what happens next
- A succinct and useful guide to the diagnostic process
- Seven ways to combat behavior issues of any type
- Physical and psychological changes that could happen—and what do to if these become a problem
- Problem-solving strategies to help you manage sundowning, hallucinations, delusions, aggression, apathy, and more
- Information on making mealtimes easier and tips to help them eat properly—learn what they should be consuming in their diet to stay healthy, including a quick reference guide for finger foods
- What (and what not!) to say to someone with dementia—avoid behavioral problems and conflicts by learning these tips early on
- Tips on looking after your own health—don’t neglect your well-being, as a caregiver, you need some TLC too!
- Advice on long-term care solutions so you can have everything planned in advance to make those transitions easier to manage
- And much more.
You can still make a whole host of fantastic memories with your loved one. Make the best of your situation and give them the care they need to continue living a meaningful life.

Excellent resource! A must have.
The book "Dementia for Caregivers: Strategies for Behavioral Issues and Practical Tips for Caring for Your Loved One at Home" is specifically tailored for caregivers, as suggested by its title. While it may be considered advanced for the general public, it is an invaluable resource for individuals who are caring for someone with dementia, as well as healthcare professionals in this field. The book provides an extensive level of detail about the disease, covering various aspects ranging from the stages of dementia to different types of this condition. Despite having over a decade of experience in the medical field, I have found that this book continues to expand my knowledge and understanding. Two years ago, my sister began experiencing early-stage dementia at the age of 61. This book has proven to be an immense source of help and support for me and my family during this challenging time.

A very complete guide thats easy to understand!
If dementia runs in your family, listen to this book NOW so that you can be fully prepared for the tasks ahead of you in the future. If you are already caring for a loved one with dementia, you will benefit from the many tips about how to phrase things and do things in such a way as to keep your loved one in the best possible mood. There are activity suggestions included to help the patient exercise their mind. The types of dementia, and the biological processes that cause memory loss are described and explained. Resources are given in the book as well. Lists are given for you to check for signs of cognitive decline, as well for signs that the loved one needs a care home instead of a caregiver ( and how to find a good one!). The author also discusses the types of end-of-life plans you need to tackle with the loved one while they are still in the early stages, and also has special sections on self-care for the caregiver themselves. The narrator is pleasant to listen to as well. This book is extremely comprehensive and I would recommend that the entire family buy it and listen to it!

Wonderful!
The author's approach is practical, informative, and easy to understand. She provides strategies for dealing with behavioral issues that are common in individuals with dementia, such as aggression, wandering, and hallucinations. I appreciated that the author included real-life examples and case studies, which helped me to see how the strategies could be applied in real-world situations.What I loved most about this book was the emphasis the author placed on the importance of self-care for caregivers. She recognizes that caring for someone with dementia can be emotionally and physically taxing, and provides practical tips for caregivers to take care of themselves. I found this to be incredibly valuable, as it allowed me to prioritize my own well-being while still providing quality care for my loved one.

Insightful and Compassionate
The strategies laid out in this audiobook were not only compassionate, but functional and born of firsthand experience. I appreciated the author's take that in order to be the most effective caregiver, you must also take care of your own physical and mental health. The author does a great job of helping the listener acclimate to their new lifestyle, and process the emotional hurdles in from of them. The practical, and hands on advice for day to day care is also invaluable.

Beneficial information!
I loved how this book shared so much valuable information in such an empathetic way. I went through this with my father-in-law years ago and this book would have been so helpful.
Understanding the many different characteristics and behaviors can bring insight to coping with the individual in a compassionate manner. There are so many wonderful tips and strategies to help reduce the possibility of upset and confusion. Recognizing triggers, having routines and self-care for the care giver.
It also discusses the very important and difficult topic of end of life choices.
