Behavior issues
One of the most difficult aspects of caring for dementia patients is dealing with their unpredictable and sometimes challenging or aggressive behaviors.
In this book we’ll discuss strategies caregivers can use to manage these behaviors, including introducing routines, creating a safe environment, and communicating calmly and reassuringly.
The necessary attention
Caring for family members with dementia requires special attention tomeet their needs and provide them with a safe and comfortable environment.
In the book we’ll discuss tools you need to help those with dementia, such as medications, nutrition, hydration, and hallucinations, wandering and behavior management.
Your well-being
When caring for family members with dementia, it is easy to focus only on their well-being and neglect your own, but it’s important to remember that your well-being is just as important.
I’ll teach you how to carve out moments for yourself each day, taking regular breaks to relax and recharge your energy, exercise, eat healthy foods, managing the situation as best you can.
When to opt for additional help
Realizing that you no longer have the time or strength to care for a loved one in a time of need often requires tremendous effort.
That’s why in the book, we’ll discuss when it’s necessary to rely on someone else, ensuring them the best care.
