While alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, many related types also affect adults worldwide, causing loss of memory, reason, judgment, and other cognitive functions.

If you feel blind-sided, heartbroken, dazed and anxious about what’s ahead as care partner to your loved one with alzheimer’s – you are not alone. And yet, you can do this. You already are. We have been walking this journey alongside our dad, who is in the early stages of alzheimer’s, for the past four plus years.

Now, i want to share with you what we’ve learned from doctors, social workers, support groups, seminars, webinars, therapists and trial by fire, as well as seven steps that you can take today to ensure your journey with your loved one is as practicable and peaceful as possible.

Unlike other books that focus solely on the medical aspects of dementia, this guide offers a comprehensive approach for navigating the day-to-day challenges of care.

Best advice and comfort I’ve ever gotten on how to deal with a person dealing with Alzheimer’s. I learned so many practical tips I’ve already put into action. And I’m recommending it to everyone! God bless the author, and I don’t even know him!

This book is outstanding for caregivers and professionals who need a resource on caring for people with dementia. It gives the advice and support to the caregiver that I haven’t seen elsewhere.

[Daniel jacob · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I liked that this book was a straight forward approach on how to handle dementia in a family member, or a friend. I like how the writer included the relationship between a mother & daughter. I felt as if it could be my own mother & I, as we are in this new journey. I liked the SLOW method, speak, listen, observe & wait. It reminds me to constantly pause, before I speak. The book is quite full of great information that I can put to use in our lives
