Caring For Someone with Dementia

from Alzheimer's Speaks Hosted by Lori La Bey

Today Author Merideth Sindel, from Australia will join us to discuss her book called "Caring for Somebody with Dementia" 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. Caring for Somebody with Dementia describes the experiences of life with dementia over those three years. Here is a bit you will find about the book: 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.
