Beskrivelse
How does a polar bear pooping on a rug turn into a lesson on Alzheimer's behaviors of paranoia and hallucinations?Or a pregnant aunt turn into a lesson about long-term care decisions?The innocent dialogue and anecdotes the author has recorded for years between her and her grandchildren serve as introductions - and lessons learned - to managing the daily responsibilities in Alzheimer's care. These poignant stories and insightful perspectives offer a fresh approach in understanding the disease. Thought-provoking, humorous, and endearing, this book will have you experiencing the journey of Alzheimer's disease in a most light-hearted and non-threatening way, so much so that you will hardly realize how much knowledge and how many skills you are acquiring along the way. From understanding the components of the disease, to discovering various ways to communicate, to coping with difficult behavioral expressions; from weaving through all the emotions experienced by the caregiver, to understanding person-centered care, to the importance of social engagement, and much more, this book is a vital and handy resource for anybody affected by Alzheimer's disease.
