Synopsis
Gerontologist and dementia care consultant Rachael Wonderlin has written a compassionate book to help friends and family members of those living with dementia answer these tough questions—and more. In practical, down-to-earth language, The Caregiver's Guide to Memory Care and Dementia Communities walks the listener through key points about dementia care, including common terminology used by health care workers; strategies for taking care of your loved one; advice for when and how to transition to a dementia care community; understanding how dementia care communities are structured and what to keep in mind when evaluating them; how to help your loved one receive the best possible care while they're living apart; recommendations for handling obstacles involving communication and behavioral issues; and information on technology, hospice care, programming and activities, and at-home safety.
