Unlock the secrets to resilient caregiving with this hard-to-put-down guide: from managing mood swings and memory loss to handling the emotional strain and logistical puzzles, “Dealing with Dementia for Caregivers” puts over 70 critical resources literally at your fingertips. It's designed to empower you with practical advice and real-world solutions, providing relief and guidance as you care for someone with dementia. This book strives to be a source of strength and strategy, helping you to manage each day and every daunting situation effectively and compassionately.

If you're reading this, you are no doubt searching for guidance through the complex world of dementia care—and I’m here to tell you that, hands down, you’ve just found it. This book blends invaluable real-world advice, essential resources, and time-tested tips (with sprinkles of humor wherever appropriate), offering you the support you need to face challenging caregiving situations like no other book can. It breaks down many of the difficulties you’re facing into easy-to-understand lingo—since many of us are NOT doctors, nurses, or professionals in the healthcare field.

Not only that, but this straightforward guide will explain exactly why using reasonable, rational, and logical methods with your loved one could quite possibly do more harm than good.

Here’s what Rev. Elizabeth Gioia, PhD, had to say about it:

“Do you feel exhausted, alone, and overwhelmed by caring for a loved one? S.R. Hatton expertly takes your hand and guides you on a journey through the maze of caring for a loved one with dementia. In a light-hearted manner, the author brings hope and humanity to a very harsh reality, balancing the very personal stories of caregivers with expert advice and invaluable guidance. It is a treasure chest of knowledge. I plan on buying a copy for everyone I know who is dealing with dementia.”

Inside, you’ll discover a bounty of information:

• Real-world advice from caregivers who’ve definitely been there and have absolutely done that
• An engaging rundown of the five types and seven stages of dementia, making the complex a little less daunting and a lot more manageable
• Practical tips on keeping your loved one’s life (and your sanity) on a regular schedule, complete with tips & resources to design a daily care plan that’s actually doable
• Jam-packed with over 70 essential resources and checklists—hopefully, more than you'll ever need—and a scannable QR code taking you to every one of them
• Smart strategies for the serious stuff: legal, financial planning, and exploring care options for when home care just isn’t enough anymore
• A crash course in self-care to prevent your own burnout—because sometimes, you just need to put your feet up and have a good cry
• Insights into 62 of the most common caregiving mistakes—because forewarned is forearmed (and less embarrassed)
• A peek at a promising, little-known treatment for dementia—something you probably never, ever thought about, but could make a difference
• What to say (and not to say) when the inevitable happens—the most focused and compassionate real-world advice for what to say and do when the “longest goodbye” comes to a close

Dealing with Dementia for Caregivers offers more than advice; it offers a perspective that respects both the gravity and the absurdity of caregiving. It encourages you to embrace both the tears and the occasional laughter, providing a holistic approach to managing one of life’s most demanding and challenging roles in the most graceful way possible.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

My life has been shaped by service, resilience, and a deep commitment to learning-especially when it comes to understanding dementia. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I served in the JAG Corps as a paralegal before continuing my career as a legal assistant and 911 operator-roles that demanded quick thinking, empathy, and resolve under pressure.In 2020, I began experiencing cognitive symptoms that raised difficult questions. Having watched my grandmother's long decline from dementia, I recognized familiar patterns-both in my family and in myself. That moment launched a mission. I dove headfirst into dementia research, determined not just to understand what was happening to me, but to offer guidance and encouragement to others who might be navigating the same storm.But my journey into publishing began even earlier, back in 2018. At the time, I was helping my longtime client, John Unland, with what started as a simple writing project-and ended up becoming his legacy. John wanted to share his story about bringing Gore-Tex® to the world stage before its founder, Bob Gore, passed away. I edited and published that book, and from there, I continued to work on other manuscripts for John and additional clients. That experience lit a spark. I realized I didn't just want to help others publish their stories-I had a few of my own to tell.Now semi-retired, I live with my husband Jeff, a retired U.S. Navy Chief, in the peaceful countryside near Virginia's Chesapeake Bay. We share our home with Willow, our beloved Morkie (also known as our "fifth daughter"), and visit our four grown daughters whenever life and health allow.Much of my time now is spent researching dementia and creating practical, heartfelt tools to support family caregivers. I strive to write books that blend lived experience with realistic solutions-offering humor where it helps and honesty where it's needed. Whether I'm writing caregiver guides, nostalgic short stories, or interactive journals, I hope to bring comfort, clarity, and confidence to those facing one of life's most challenging journeys.I am the author of:¿¿¿¿ Dementia Denied: One Woman's True Story of Surviving a Terminal Diagnosis & Reclaiming Her Life¿¿¿¿ Dealing with Dementia for Caregivers: Real-World Advice to Prevent & Relieve Crisis Situations, Manage Long Care Hours, Alleviate the Burden You Feel & Cope with Daily Frustrations¿¿¿¿ Tales from Memory Lane: Large Print Short Stories for Seniors with Dementia & Fans of Easy Reads¿¿¿¿ The Memory Keeper: A Guided Journal for Recording & Preserving the Life Story of Your Loved One with Dementia
