Thirty Essential Tips to Start Managing the Alzheimer's or Other Dementia, Your Parent, and Yourself is a daughter's guide through the problems and pains of caring for an ill or aging parent. The author, a professional corporate writer, cared for her mother who struggled with dementia for several years. Some of that caretaking was hands-on; some of it was struggling, while she worked full-time, to set up a living situation that would work for them both. Now, after her mother's passing, she tells you everything she wishes someone had told her then. Given in "tip" form, rather than in a running narrative, this book allows you to dive in wherever you need. Whether it's your family's not helping enough, someone bugging you to help more, or the nursing home vs. your parent's own home debate that's stressing you, this book offers suggestions on how to handle it. Do you need to find a place for your parent to live? You will find suggestions on just how to do that in this book. Do you need to figure out how to pay for his or her care? Once again, suggestions are in there. Is your parent still driving every day and you're beginning to have some concerns about it? There are suggestions in this book to help you open that conversation and begin to resolve that issue. The author even offers suggestions on how to find out about new treatments for your parent or help him or her have a good hospital stay. More than just a how-to book, it's a book about caring for that most important connection, our connection to our parent, the one relationship that endures throughout our lives, even when illness or the vagaries of fate or time interrupt.
