A Loving Approach to Dementia Care
About the Book
Caring for someone with dementia means devotedly and patiently doing a
hundred little things each day. Few care providers are trained to meet
the challenges of dementia, however. They need the guidance this book
provides to overcome caregiving obstacles and cultivate more meaningful
relationships with loved ones who have dementia and memory loss.
