Resourceful for Dementia Caregivers
This audiobook was a lifesaver for me as a caregiver. It explained how to care for someone with dementia in a clear and kind way. The tips for managing daily routines and handling memory loss were really helpful. I felt more confident after learning how to handle difficult situations with patience and understanding. Highly recommended !

Caregiving with Insight and Compassion
This book feels like having an experienced guide gently walk through the highs and lows of caregiving. The chapter on navigating emotional burnout stood out, not because it just listed tips, but because it shared small, real-life scenarios that mirrored everyday challenges caregivers face. That blend of relatability and advice brought an unexpected sense of reassurance.
The inclusion of memory aids and technology recommendations added a modern touch, and the examples of communication techniques were both actionable and compassionate. It doesn’t just speak to caregivers—it seems to truly understand them. For someone starting this path or even seasoned in caregiving, this feels less like a manual and more like a companion.

Compassionate care in audio form
Ben Clardy has optimized a pleasent, compassionate, and helpful guide to caring for someone going through the overwhelming and often confusing journey of cognitive decline. However, things can be made better, and the author does a fantastic job of highlighting how this can be done by focusing on proper ways of coping with behavioral changes in traits and personality habits, powerful communication-helping methods, and all while not overlooking self-care (because let’s face it, we need to be in tip top shape if we are to properly help!).

What an amazing insightful book
I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for this book. Caring for my mom with dementia has been a journey full of love but also exhaustion and moments of feeling lost. This guide offered me the kind of support I didn’t realize I needed, with tips on preserving her memory and managing daily care that felt immediately useful. What really struck me, though, was the reminder to take care of myself, too—something I’d been neglecting in all the chaos. This book feels like a compassionate friend, gently guiding you through the hardest days, reminding you that your well-being truly matters. If you’re on this path, it’s a must-read.

A dementia caregiver toolbox
This is a solid manual for negotiating the difficulties of dementia caregiving. It provides clear care plans, self-care advice and guidance on managing behavioural changes and communication. The narrator's voice is sympathetic. First-time carers would find this to be the ideal tool.
