This book should be in the hands of every family member and health aide who helps with the care of someone with dementia.--Adi Loebl, MD, Adult and Geriatric Psychiatrist, Chief Medical Officer, Ackerman Institute for the Family, With the U.S. population growing older and people living longer, Rawitt contends that teens are increasingly likely to know and need to assist someone with dementia. Part of the Empowering You series, this comprehensive manual offers support in understanding this neurocognitive disorder. The book begins with an introduction to what dementia is (identifying Alzheimer's as a kind of dementia and not an interchangeable term) and a thorough look at the stages of dementia and the challenges associated with each one. 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. A clear and consolidated guide to understanding dementia on a practical level, it provides a wealth of specific things to do and think about during every stage of a complicated disease. This book should be in the hands of every family member and health aide who helps with the care of someone with dementia.
