"Home is a Feeling" is a calming, reassuring, softly illustrated book for Alzheimer's patients, persons with dementia, and persons whose current place of residence lacks that feeling of being comfortably home. The all-too-familiar words expressing this uncomfortable feeling and frustration often come out as, "I want to go home." Why? Because Alzheimer's, dementia, or even feeling unsettled in a new (or old) home rob a person of "home." Home is where a person is not lost in time, or space, or a situation that feels out of control. Home is where we feel comfortable, safe, connected, a sense of time well spent, and a sense of purpose. Home is where we are warm, well-fed, loved and loving, and most of all, understood. Besides a calming reassurance, it provides the opportunity for meaningful, shared conversation between an individual and their family, friends, or caretakers. Additionally, this simple format allows the person with Alzheimer's, dementia, or unsettled feelings to continue a favorite pass time-- flipping pages and reading through a book's pages.
