Review

This book becomes particularly useful for the regular non-healthcare trained person who suddenly finds him or herself having to take care of a loved one whose intellectual and cognitive abilities are deteriorating and in need of assistance from others for activities of daily life. I highly recommend it. - Jose G. Garcia, MDI am a healthcare professional always looking for a good read! The Dementia Caregiver's Survival Guide is a great book to help caregivers learn the importance of balancing the care of their loved ones, all while prioritizing their own needs. This 11-step plan provides valuable insight for caregivers and not only teaches us how to give ourselves that much needed grace, but also a guide to cultivating positive caregiver experiences. Caregiving will always be tough, but this book provides a sense of hope in times when most individuals lose sight of it.
