Helpful

Caring for someone with dementia is such a tough job. It covers everything from managing symptoms to setting up a calm space for your loved one, but it’s also about keeping yourself grounded. What I found most helpful was how it tell daily challenges into manageable steps, so you don’t feel so lost. The tone is really compassionate too, like the author really understands what you’re going through. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, this will be helpful.

Early recognition & carer help

I recently read a book about sleep that discussed how the lack of it over many years can cause a build up of “gunk” on the brain and that proper sleep (without the half life of caffeine or alcohol) actually cleans the brain. If this gunk gets too overwhelming then things such as alzheimers and dementia can occur. So this lead me down a rabbit whole of truly understanding these kinds of symptoms for my future and for my family. I like how the author, Dean Ramsey, provides listeners with up-to-date science and studies to do with changes in traits and recognizing them in dementia sufferers. This is so hugely important because recognition is key for early action. There are also countless takeaways on how the carer can take care of themselves, which is massively important for obvious reasons.

Thoughtful Guide for Dementia Caregivers

This audiobook is a compassionate and practical resource for anyone dealing with the complexities of dementia caregiving. I liked that it doesn't just outline symptoms or list facts but dives into real strategies for managing behaviors, handling stress, and maintaining balance between caregiving and other responsibilities, which from experience I know is so challenging. I appreciated the focus on effective communication and innovative caregiving techniques that were eye-opening and I'm sure will make a massive difference. I also learned a lot from the advice on financial planning and maintaining independence for your loved one as long as possible. If you're feeling lost or need a clearer path forward, this guide offers a lot of supportive and actionable advice.
