Lirpa: It is designed mostly for people in long term care facilities, so it was a little helpful for understanding dementia but not on a personal day to day level with mother living with me

whispering breeze: Okay Dementia is not a subject any individual warmly welcomes into their life. However I have learnt two key points in my carer role. Firstly, like most things in life it is what it is. We did not invite Dementia into our home, but having arrived it is best to prepare as well as you can. Secondly, the illness is progressive and gets worse but as it does so it is possible to get some positive times. No one wants the Dementia road but accepting it is happening is one step on the road to helping the person with the condition.

The great thing about this book I found is that it is bite sized. After the leaflets from the memory clinic you are very much on your own in the early stages. So many what ifs, maybes, possibilities, etc. Go on some online forums with no real knowledge and prepare to be depressed. Yes any of this can happen but rarely in the same order, the same intensity or the same time span. Your loved ones journey will be similar to others but also to a degree unique.

I found reading and researching about Dementia depressing to a degree and still did not give me a road map. This book was very useful not as a read through in one go but a dip into source of...

Pelly: I have read many books on dementia but I really like Jolene’s approach. She doesn’t sugarcoat situations and how they should be handled. I will be using her suggestions more and more as time goes on...

Hasubai: I purchased this book on the recommendation of a friend who works at the Stanford Centre for Aging. Really the best resource on dementia. I have shared this book on the many FB dementia chat groups I am part of. I work with a team of 3 incredible girls who help take care of my mother and they will all be reading it as it really is very helpful. For example, their tips on dealing with bed wetting or a urinary accident are superb. It' truly smart how they get those with dementia to participate in things. What is important is that they point out that that people with dementia respond to stimuli and how to control those.
My mother is in a care facility and I will be sharing this book with them.
