Having recently had my nan suffer from dementia, this audible was the holding hand we needed through the various stages of her dementia. The biggest chapter for me personally was Chapter 6 - Legal and Financial Planning, because without this chapter, we would have lost so much time, energy and money to the care system - this is a must-listen chapter for anyone going through dementia for a loved one. Great advice throughout and the writer has shared openly about all the things to look out for that will save you time and energy when you get to those stages. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with this audiobook for its guidance on caring for a loved one who suffers from dementia. It is clear that Hugh has a wealth of experience in this area from the content he presents and the methods and advice he encourages you to practice as a carer. I found all of the chapters helpful and appreciated how they are structured, as they teach you the fundamentals of caring incrementally. I heavily related to the chapters on treatment and management and creating a dementia-friendly environment. I say this because I would struggle in these areas, as I am new to my caring role and found the advice and material very helpful, leading to an overall improvement in how I care for my grandmother, who suffers from the condition. From my listening, I am much more confident with my caring duties, and I know my grandmother and the rest of the family will greatly benefit from it.

Well structured and helpful guide!

The topic of dementia comes with a heavy heart as we all know we will begin to see the person we love slip away. Having a book like this can help you to find joy in a dark place. The book offers a lot of emotional support and shares stories and experiences from others on this journey to help remind us we are not alone when facing these challenges. Chapter 5 covers creating a dementia friendly environment which is something I had not thought about. You will learn how to adapt to your surroundings to ensure safety, comfort, and familiarity for your loved one with dementia. Simple things like labeling doors, and drawers, removing trip hazards, and creating a clutter-free environment are some of the simple things covered in the chapter.

Chapter 6 helped me a lot as it walked you through financial and legal planning. There are some heavy responsibilities with this diagnosis but having read this chapter, I feel better about what next steps I need to take to ensure that my loved one is taken care of and to ensure that their assets are being handled how they would like before things get too bad. Some of the first steps I took were getting the directive set up as well as establishing power of attorney.

If you have someone with dementia and just feel lost or overwhelmed, this is a great book to help organize all those thoughts and guide you on what next steps to take. It also covers how to take care of yourself which is a huge reminder that when we take care of others, we are the last person to think of.

Very empathetic and helpful
