Nicely done

Needing me time

Even though I have been my sisters caretaker for years I learned a couple new things to try

Practical

Lots of helpful tips and understanding of what people go through when dealing with dementia.

Not the best for Audio book - a lot of reference

This has a lot of good information but references "see section - for more information". Also at the end of each subject she lists "What to say" or "What to do". This book would be better if you had the actual book to reference and make notes on it.

Otherwise it has a lot of good information and she makes sure to see how you are doing or make sure you are taking care of yourself as a caregiver.
