This audiobook has been incredibly helpful as my grandmother begins showing early signs of dementia. It offers practical tips and emotional support that make the caregiving journey more manageable.

Early recognition & carer help

I recently read a book about sleep that discussed how the lack of it over many years can cause a build up of “gunk” on the brain and that proper sleep (without the half life of caffeine or alcohol) actually cleans the brain. If this gunk gets too overwhelming then things such as alzheimers and dementia can occur. So this lead me down a rabbit whole of truly understanding these kinds of symptoms for my future and for my family. I like how the author, Dean Ramsey, provides listeners with up-to-date science and studies to do with changes in traits and recognizing them in dementia sufferers. This is so hugely important because recognition is key for early action. There are also countless takeaways on how the carer can take care of themselves, which is massively important for obvious reasons.

Navigating Dementia with Compassion

The 10-step method in the book is both doable and powerful. Ramsey equips caregivers with the skills necessary to manage each stage of care with compassion and confidence, from handling challenging symptoms like disorientation and memory loss to establishing a peaceful and secure environment. The book also has a strong emphasis on caregiver self-care, providing guidance on preserving emotional equilibrium and avoiding burnout—a topic that is sometimes missed in caregiving manuals.
