Despite being diagnosed with dementia, people with the condition still hold an important role within families. They don't stop being the person they were before dementia took hold. What's more, they didn't choose to be forgetful, incontinent, agitated or rude. Nor did they choose to behave inappropriately, or to become aggressive. They cannot control what is happening to them. Even though they may behave very differently, they are still the same mum, dad, granddad or grandma that we used to know. Above all else, they need our support and understanding.This book is all about helping you to help your loved ones with dementia to have the best quality of life that they possibly can. This book is for you if: - you support and care for someone living with dementia. - you've been diagnosed with dementia and want to find out more about it. - you want to be hyper-vigilant about understanding what dementia is about, and what you can do to maintain your own cognitive well-being.
