“The Caregiver's Guide to Dementia presents readers with a wealth of valuable information that is organized for easy accessibility. An indispensable tool for both new and seasoned caregivers, it will become a classic.”―Carol Bradley Bursack, journalist in elder care issues, author of Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories
“This book is a necessity for anyone new to or dealing with dementia. It is filled with sound information, shares great examples, gives the reader questions to ask, guides them on things to say and do, and helps those who care for others learn to pause in order to evaluate their own health and life balance.”―Lori La Bey, founder of Alzheimer's Speaks (www.AlzheimersSpeaks.com)
“Gail draws on her decades of experience to give dementia caregivers exactly what they need on this journey. The depth of her love and care comes across on every page, and it is so clear that she GETS IT. The lists of what to do or say, and what to ask the doctor, take this book to the next level as a resource caregivers can actually USE in their day-to-day experience. I recommend this book to all caregivers.”―Lisa K. Baker, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Dementia Coach
“As a neurologist and caregiver for my father who had Alzheimer’s, I wish my mother and I had had access to a resource as practical and helpful as The Caregiver’s Guide. What sets the book apart is its consistent attention to caregiver health and well-being, imploring them to stop and check in with themselves, making use of mindfulness and other techniques of centering in the present moment. Gail’s rich experience, knowledge, and compassion come through on every page. This book gets my highest recommendation.”―Daniel C. Potts, MD, FAAN, neurologist, author, advocate

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!
Just what I needed!!!! My grandmother was just diagnosed with vascular dementia, and I was at a loss as what to do. This book is very well written, easy read, yet packed with How To's and suggestions not only as to what to do but also what to say and not say. It's also very real, the author is very honest and realistic as to what can happen, everything I read was just what was happening, and the suggestions really work. Another thing that was really useful was the definitions at the begging of the book really helped me understand what dementia is and what it is not. I recommend this book to anyone who has no idea what to do when facing this new stage of their loved one's life. Dementia is really frustrating and confusing for all involved, this book helps deal with that and help the caregivers process their emotions and gain a positive perspective and avoid mistakes.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book.
This book was very informative and helped me to understand what my late husband was going through.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for caregivers!
If you buy just one book to guide you through the world of dementia caregiving, this is the one! Written in a warm and friendly style, it’s packed with practical information for whatever stage your loved one with dementia might be in, and for whatever you, as the caregiver, might be thinking and feeling. The author speaks from her years of experience using real-life examples to help with understanding the many aspects that will inevitably be encountered such as behavioral issues, daily living concerns, legal and financial needs, and end-of-life care. While all of that is incredibly informative and offers excellent guidance, her support for the caregiver’s needs is worth the price alone! She offers humor, empathy, compassion and understanding throughout.
