Summary:
"Caring for someone with dementia means patiently doing a hundred little things each day. But few care providers are trained to meet the challenges of dementia -- despite the fact that millions of people will struggle with it as they grow older. In 'A Loving Approach to Dementia Care,' Laura Wayman, known professionally as the 'Dementia Whisperer, ' offers practical, compassionate advice on overcoming caregiving obstacles and maintaining meaningful relationships with loved ones who have dementia and memory loss. In this thoroughly revised third edition, Wayman includes : answers to common caregiver questions, such as 'What is dementia?' -- a detailed explanation of how to cope with and care for a spouse with dementia symptoms, including advice about communication -- a new chapter on caring for someone who had dementia along with other health problems -- recommendations about how to handle challenging situations and behavior -- dementia-aware activities that work for both family caregivers and professional care staff -- fresh caregiving insights that emphasize the importance of taking time to care for oneself. Each chapter contains two section --'Lessons Learned' and 'Perceptions and Approaches' --which provide details about how readers can apply lessons from the stories Wayman tells to their own caregiving. Providing support for the numerous difficulties and disruptions that caregivers face 'A Loving Approach to Dementia Care,' is an emphatetic guide filled with respect, calm, and creativity. It will leave readers feeling empowered and inspired." --Back cover.
"This is the third edition of Laura Wayman's guide for caregivers of individuals with dementia. The book is concise, down to earth, and practical. Each chapter begins with a real-life vignette that the author then analyzes. For this third edition, the content has expanded by approximately 13,000 words, including two new chapters and a section of resources."--From publisher.
