As the author discusses ways to care for individuals with dementia, ways dementia can affect family and friends, and activities to share with someone with dementia, she maintains a teen focus by addressing such concerns as family embarrassment, guilt, and financial burdens, and by providing tips, such as talking slower and in a lower pitch to ease communication. The last chapters focus on facing death (including hospice care and what happens after death) and the importance of self-care. An extensive list of supporting resources rounds out this helpful guide., While Loving Someone with Dementia is targeted to teens, it is a tremendously valuable book for anyone who knows someone with cognitive decline.
