Chicken Soup for the Soul: Navigating Eldercare & Dementia offers candid, practical advice and emotional support that can help family caregivers do a better job of coping with the immense challenges they face. Written by everyday people who have carried the burden of caregiving themselves, these stories of inspiration, advice and even humor will help family caregivers survive their long, noble journey.
I bought the book in view of the possibility needing to know how to deal with taking care of elders with dementia, only to have the confirmation that my dad has Alzheimer 2 weeks later. This books showed me my mom and my personal roller coaster emotions and why my dad was behaving the way he is, are real emotions and part of accepting this fact. It will not be easy but the stories showed me that we have to find our way to deal with it and that love must still be shown to my dad regardless if he remembers our act of love or not.
This book is an inspirational book to help your family, especially those in need of aged care and dementia. These stories provide early practical advice and psychological preparation for families in need, and understand most of the difficulties and nursing skills faced by Alzheimer's. It is worth recommending to those in need.
