"Dementia Home Care is a comprehensive guidebook that teaches caregivers how to use cuing aids, work with hoarding, reduce or prevent wandering, employ distraction and redirection techniques, and much more. It goes beyond most dementia caregiving books, from teaching first time cooks how to prepare meals for someone with dementia to tips for utilizing medical professionals for the best outcome for your loved one, and how to prepare in advance for emergencies and end of life care. Dementia Home Care leads you through the ABC’s of dementia care, including self-care and the healing powers of laughter, guiding the you to the very end of the journey, with what to do after a loved one dies, like placing death watch reports with the credit bureaus to dealing with digital estates. It includes an extensive resources section with hundreds of websites from adaptive clothing, help with prescriptions, military support, support services, translation languages for non-English speakers, and other essential resources."--Publisher.
