Much needed advice

Having recently had my nan suffer from dementia, this audible was the holding hand we needed through the various stages of her dementia. The biggest chapter for me personally was Chapter 6 - Legal and Financial Planning, because without this chapter, we would have lost so much time, energy and money to the care system - this is a must-listen chapter for anyone going through dementia for a loved one. Great advice throughout and the writer has shared openly about all the things to look out for that will save you time and energy when you get to those stages. Highly recommended.

Well structured and helpful guide!

I was very impressed with this audiobook for its guidance on caring for a loved one who suffers from dementia. It is clear that Hugh has a wealth of experience in this area from the content he presents and the methods and advice he encourages you to practice as a carer. I found all of the chapters helpful and appreciated how they are structured, as they teach you the fundamentals of caring incrementally. I heavily related to the chapters on treatment and management and creating a dementia-friendly environment. I say this because I would struggle in these areas, as I am new to my caring role and found the advice and material very helpful, leading to an overall improvement in how I care for my grandmother, who suffers from the condition. From my listening, I am much more confident with my caring duties, and I know my grandmother and the rest of the family will greatly benefit from it.

A practical guidance for caregivers!

It serves as a valuable resource for individuals navigating the complexities of dementia care. Chapter two, "Early Signs and Diagnosis," particularly resonated with me as it shed light on the subtle indicators of dementia and the importance of early detection. This chapter brought back memories of my own experience with a family member facing similar challenges. The audiobook's compassionate approach and practical advice offered me a sense of understanding and preparedness, making it a comforting companion for those on the caregiving journey. Brieanna Johnson's narration adds a layer of empathy and clarity to the book.
