MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

#1 New Release in Caregiving Overcome the Language Barrier of DementiaWhen a parent, spouse, sibling, or loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, it can be difficult to know what to do. Your day can spiral into a never-ending series of tasks and attempts to communicate that leave you both frustrated. Instead of burning out, discover a new approach. When your loved one behaves differently than they used to, they're just communicating in a new way. As caregivers, the most important thing we can do is learn that new language.

Navigate the caregiving relationship: In Caregiving Both Ways, Molly Wisniewski offers essential advice for getting to know your loved one and yourself during this new phase of life. Learn to balance your priorities, avoid burning out, and honor self-care. Molly will teach you how to navigate the difficult moments with techniques she's mastered from years of experience working with people with dementia.

Prepare for each stage of care: Caregiving Both Ways is divided into two parts. First, learn how to care for your loved one with dementia and prioritize your new role as caregiver. Next, discover how to build a strong support system with help from professional caregivers and how to prepare for end-of-life care.

In Caregiving Both Ways, you'll find worksheets, exercises, and essential tips for smart, empathetic caregiving. You'll learn how to:

Use non-medical interventions to reduce anxiety
Prioritize and make time for your own care and mental health
Identify triggers that may cause confusion in your loved one
Handle difficult medical decisions
Provide support and validation through all stages of Alzheimer's disease or dementia

Readers who turned to Alzheimer's books like The 36-Hour Day, When Reasoning No Longer Works, and Creating Moments of Joy Along the Alzheimer's Journey will love the compassionate approach of Caregiving Both Ways.
