Author Shunda Williams, a speech language pathologist and a caregiver, really gets what it's like to care for someone with dementia. I really apprecated the chapter on Person-centered care in this gentle, supportive guide. It offers practical tips for handling daily challenges, like managing tough behaviors and communicating more clearly, without making you feel overwhelmed. It focuses just as much on the caregiver’s emotional health as it does on patient care. If you’re feeling burnt out or unsure what to do next, this listen brings both clarity and comfort.

I work at an assisted living facility, and this audiobook has been such a helpful resource that I’ve started recommending it to families of our residents. Even if their loved one doesn’t live with them anymore, there’s still so much in here that’s useful—like understanding behaviours, improving communication, and making visits more meaningful. The parts on caregiver burnout and emotional support really speak to what many families are going through. It’s clear, supportive, and easy to follow. Several families have told me it helped them feel more prepared and not so alone.

Great resource worth recommending
