Publisher's Synopsis
With just over 10 years experience working as a carer for elderly people, I decided to write this book to share my knowledge. I have cared mainly for those who were diagnosed dementia.There is useful information that will help families, friends and caregivers for loved ones who may be going through their early stages, mid stages and late stages of dementia. With the help of this book you can set up a good environment for them, effectively communicate with them, learn their behavioural patterns, help navigate through changes in appetite and behavioural changes. The useful tips and tools will help equip you when you face challenging times like end-of-life care, dealing with abuse and so much more. For those that are torn between nursing homes, rest homes or in-home care, there are some advantages and disadvantages listed that you need to take into consideration to help you make informed decisions. The coping methods suggested have been used by myself through the years and I hope they will be helpful to someone else.
