Informative, easy to understand language
Dementia can be a complex and challenging topic, and the author did a good job of breaking it down into accessible terms. This made it easier for me to grasp the key concepts and information presented.
However, one drawback of the book was that it could be a bit repetitive at times. Some of the information and advice seemed to be reiterated unnecessarily, which made the listening experience somewhat monotonous,
While the book provided a lot of valuable information about living with dementia, I felt that some of the advice given was not actionable enough. A book like this needs to offer practical guidance and strategies for both individuals with dementia and their caregivers.
"Living with Dementia" is a helpful resource with simple language that can be beneficial for those looking to understand the condition better. Overall, I found it to be a valuable resource.
