Dementia: The Journey Ahead
A Practical Guide for In-Home Caregivers

When My Mother Know
Longer Knew My Name
A Son's "Course" in "Rational" Caregiving
By Stephen L. Goldstein
This should be the first book
families read to prepare themselves for caring
for aging relatives. It's a one-man support
group, written like a friend who's
"been-there-done-that," talking anecdotally, but
authoritatively, to a friend who needs help. It
is raw and gritty, as well as funny and
inspiring--offering hope that one can overcome a
mountain of seemingly insurmountable challenges,
for which they likely feel devastatingly
unprepared.Each brief, compelling, highly
readable chapter tells how a son learned
"on-the-job" to deal with different situations
all caregivers face as his caregiving role
evolved from nominal to 24/7. The book is packed
with down-to-earth practical advice and tips to
make caregiving manageable-even joyful. There's
even a unique self-assessment guide so
caregivers and potential caregivers can
benchmark and enhance their ability to manage
the often lonely, challenging, unpredictable,
and overwhelming roles they may assume.
