Finding out your loved one has dementia feels like a gut blow. The things that you hear about how the disease affects the person and the family is sometimes unbearable, especially when you're not prepared. But, is anyone ever prepared for a diagnosis like this? Because our current healthcare system is not geriatric centered, many medical professionals are not well informed about what supports are available to offer family caregivers. Therefore, this book will offer guiding practices for families diagnosed with dementia. The information within this guide provides direction on what to consider before the diagnosis, at diagnosis, and after the diagnosis. Although there's not a cure for progressive types of dementia, like Alzheimer's, there is care - your care. So, here's to getting ahead of the journey.
