Your loved one’s Dementia impairs her ability to think, reason, and remember. Patients no longer recognize reality and often engage in difficult, irrational, and sometimes dangerous behavior.

  • How to handle the patient’s difficult, irrational, and unpredictable actions

interesting and educational

This audio provides a good overview of dementia behaviors,
and helps caregivers understand that the behaviors are not intentional, but rather a function of the disease.
This builds compassion, the cornerstone of effective caregiving, which is especially helpful for dementia patients whose behavior can often cause bad feelings and annoyance.
The audio is packed with information about the most common behaviors.
I recommend this audiobook.

helpful resource

Whether you're just starting out or in the midst of the journey, "A Guide Through Alzheimer's" will be a helpful companion. If your loved one is further along in the disease, the information brings comfort to the decisions you've made and what's ahead. Grace Southerly's book is a reliable guide, a 'how to' for the challenges of Alzheimer's. As someone who began with uncertainty, I'm thankful for this resource. Highly recommend!

The author provided straightforward, reliable ways to manage dementia-related conduct.
It was quite enjoyable to listen to the narrator. All things considered, I strongly recommend "Dementia Behaviors - Caregivers Survival Guide" to anybody taking care of a loved one suffering from dementia.

Compassionate

As a caregiver, I have been overwhelmed, frustrated and uncertain about handling difficult behaviors. This book has helped me during this challenging journey. The author compassionately addresses the struggles and anxieties of being a dementia patient caregiver. It wrecks our solves to see our loved ones lose their ability to think and remember, leading to irrational and sometimes dangerous behavior. This book provides practical and proven methods to effectively manage and cope with these behaviors.

The author does a great job of explaining the causes and types of dementia and offers modifications that can be made to household habits to incorporate safety measures and enhance common spaces. The book is like having your own supportive community. The book is a source of comfort and guidance and will provide the confidence and tools to navigate the intense responsibilities of caregiving. The burnout of being a caretaker is real, so having this book to help you ease the burnout is wonderful.

Comprehensive and thoughtful about how to care for yourself & your patient

This is a comprehensive look at ideas to care for your dementia patient and yourself at the same time. At first I didn’t think the narrators voice for the book but it grew on me. The book content is quite thorough and I believe it will help you a great deal if like me, your dealing with a family member with dementia. I recommend this book!

Important info here!

The information available in the audiobook is imperative for caregivers who have family members who are exhibiting combative or aggressive behaviors that often come along with Dementia. Tips and tricks offered by Grace Southerly provide suggestions to encourage the behaviors we want to see and to reduce the ones we do not. I recommend this book to anyone caring for dementia patients either personally at home or professionally in a skilled or assisted living facility.
