    About this ebook

    The title of the book, Answering the Call, is a reference to my nursing career with a focus on caregiver support and appropriate nursing care of persons with dementia. The call is also a reference to spiritual guidance and support during dark, stressful, and lonely times during this very important type of caregiving. Though the book is written for family caregivers of persons with dementia, health care professionals can also glean helpful tools from my toolbox, from which I have contributed from more than four decades of nursing. The scriptures throughout the book are woven in to comfort the caregiver while making sense and driving more meaning into the challenging responsibility of this type of caregiving.
