It is no secret that caring for those in the throes of dementia and similar instances of cognitive decline is no cakewalk. In fact, it can be one of the most debilitating and emotionally draining experiences imaginable.

Lara West exemplifies how to do this perfectly in her title that focuses on bringing about a proper understanding of the cognitive decline pertaining to such conditions, excellent and effective caregiving, and most importantly and my fave takeaway: consistent self-care, which provides the aforementioned and inadvertent care for others.
