When someone you love has dementia, the hardest questions never come at a convenient hour. What do you say when she no longer recognizes you? How do you handle the refusal, the sundowning, the 3 a.m. wandering-without losing yourself along the way?
Everyday Dementia Care is the steady companion families reach for. Written from real experience, it meets you in the moments that actually happen and gives you clear, usable tools-not clinical theory.
Inside, you'll find: Plain-language guidance for every stage of dementiaCalm, word-for-word scripts for refusal, agitation, and difficult momentsWays to truly connect when words begin to failDaily routines, home safety, better sleep, and self-care that lastsHow to build a medical binder and work confidently with doctorsClear, practical steps for legal and financial planningGentle, honest support for the final stage-and for your own griefEach chapter stands on its own, so you can turn straight to what you're facing today and find help in minutes. Every chapter ends with simple key takeaways for the days when you're too tired to read closely.
This is not a book that asks you to be perfect. It hands you the tools, reminds you to look after yourself, and helps you stay whole while caring for someone else.
If you're caring for a parent, spouse, or friend with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, this is the guide you'll keep within reach.
