Produktbeschreibung

The TLC Story - Mild Dementia. A Guide for Caregivers of Loved Ones in the Mild Stage of Alzheimer's and Related Dementia Diseases.

"TLC" is a common language abbreviation for Tender Loving Care. It is also the monogram for Tom (the caregiver) and Laura (the loved one living with dementia) Connolly. Giving TLC is the minimum that a loved one living with dementia needs and deserves. This book will guide the new caregiver through the mild dementia journey. It provides an overview of dementia diseases, dispels common myths, tells what is dementia and what is not. It covers the plethora of early warning signs, instructs how to obtain a proper diagnosis, and how to communicate the diagnosis to the loved one and to family and friends. The book clearly explains the right to personal privacy and the right to exercise denial. Highly important advance planning is covered in detail as well as a multitude of tips and recommendations to achieve the goal of providing tender loving care to the loved one. An action plan to guide the caregiver as he or she goes forward is clearly stated. This book is a powerhouse of useful guidance and advice for caregivers who provide care for their loved one in the mild stage of Alzheimer's and other related dementia diseases.

This book is an exciting and touching true story about our years together. Naturally, I never envisioned I would ever become a caregiver husband. The marriage vow, "In sickness and in health..." took on an unexpected and new meaning when dementia struck.

I have focused this book on the mild stage of dementia to guide the caregiver through that part of the dementia journey. The text provides specific and valuable information to people caring for a loved one during this stage.

It covers Laura's challenging behaviors and hundreds of my caregiving tactics, therapies, and strategies. Many tips and recommendations explain how to provide tender loving care. It contains a powerhouse of useful guidance and advice.

Laura's dementia was a life-changing event for both of us. Dealing with the challenges of this disease is difficult to imagine. After reading this book, you will gain an intimate knowledge of our experience and will know how to proceed if thrust into this situation.

By reading my book, you may become upset yet hopeful and ready to transform your ideas of life and dementia. I feel I have delivered a unique story everyone should read.
