Includes bibliographical references (p. 162-164) Nobody expects their parent to get dementia. Nobody is prepared for it. But for Merideth, her mother did get dementia and for the next three years she became her full time carer. This book describes the experiences of life with dementia over those three years. For all that time Dementia sat himself between Merideth and her mother -- or at least he tried to. Dementia was a spiteful fellow and had brought with it the more obvious symptoms - delusions, anxiety, depression, memory loss. This book details the causes of dementia, mechanisms for dealing with symptoms and offers advice on personal care, frailty and the practicalities of caring. It also gives insight into the vital issue of how to maintain communication with somebody with dementia. Dementia Patients Care. Dementia Popular works.
