Publisher's summary

Caring for a loved one who is gradually losing their mental and physical abilities over time is one of the most challenging tasks. However, by adopting a family-centered approach, we can overcome caregiver burnout and find solace in supporting one another. In many traditional cultures, the elderly receive care from the wider community and the entire family unit. They are respected for their wisdom and knowledge and as a valuable link to the past and family history. Unfortunately, in our modern-day Western culture, we are conditioned to be self-reliant, independent, and often isolated. This raises important questions: How can we involve our extended families? What if they are far away or unable to provide financial assistance? And what about the impact of dementia caregiving on our children and partners? This compassionate and informative guide offers answers to these pressing questions and more. You don't have to face the burden of dementia care alone; a supported approach is available. Guidance on communicating with children, partners, siblings, friends, and extended family about dementia.

Practical tips for creating a peaceful, safe, and welcoming home environment for the individual with dementia and the entire family.

Enjoyable activities to foster bonding and connection within the family, creating lasting moments of happiness.

Advice on building a collaborative caregiving team, allowing each member to contribute their unique strengths and abilities.

Techniques for addressing resentments and conflicts that may arise.

Tips for seeking and obtaining the necessary help and support.

Real-life case studies of families who have successfully navigated the challenges of dementia care. It is time to draw inspiration from community-based cultures and reach out, forming networks of care with those closest to us and our loved ones with dementia. While the journey may be arduous, remember that you do not have to walk it alone.

I found this book to be so helpful

I have to tell you, I was super impressed with this book. My grandmother suffered with dementia, and I wish we had this book then. The author's approach is so compassionate, and i love how he discusses the needs of everyone involved, not just the individual with dementia. The recommendations are really smart, and they are things I had never heard before. If you are helping to take care of a family member with dementia, I highly recommend this book. I think you'll find so much great information that will help make your life easier and ensure your family member gets the best care possible.
