About this listen

You became a caregiver overnight… Now you need a clear roadmap.

At first, you may brush off the signs of forgetfulness… until you hear that word: dementia. Nothing truly prepares you for a dementia diagnosis, and as you step into this role, you quickly realize how much you have to learn. You want to provide your loved one with the best care possible, but it’s hard to know where to start.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s completely natural. You don’t need to become a caregiving expert overnight—you need a straightforward, compassionate guide to help you create a safe, loving environment for your loved one. With this practical and supportive resource, you’ll find exactly what you need to navigate the journey with confidence.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • A deeper understanding of dementia types and how their symptoms affect daily life.
  • Guidance for each stage of dementia, so you know what to expect as changes occur.
  • Effective communication techniques designed to foster connection, even as language skills fade.
  • Legal and financial planning essentials (and why addressing these early can reduce stress).
  • Self-care strategies to help you bring your best self to caregiving every day.

This guide is designed to support you through the caregiving journey, offering tools to stay prepared and find moments of joy along the way. Gain confidence, support your loved one through every stage, and nurture the bond that means so much to you.

Supportive

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook and have definitely benefited from its advice. Listening to it I not only learned about some of the legal aspects involved in caregiving but what I really appreciated the most is the support it gave me to take care of myself, while caring for my mom ( who has dementia. I appreciated the supportive and empathetic advice and strategies.

A helpful reference

This guide hit close to home, bringing back memories of my own family's journey through dementia care. The way it breaks topics down is particularly brilliant, which is basically what I wished I had many years ago. It balances well the practicallity of care with intensity of emotional support. I could have wished to see more examples evidence of communication techniques in difficult communication situations. What really hit home was the care-of-self parallel to caregiving responsibilities. While managing all of this, it's easy to forget about yourself, and this book serves as a reminder that taking care of yourself isn't selfish. For anyone starting this journey, this is a great reference to keep nearby.

A Must-Read for Caregivers

Caring for a loved one with dementia is overwhelming, but this book gave me practical advice I could actually use. It helped me navigate tough medical and legal decisions without feeling lost. The sections on building a support system were especially helpful—I finally feel like I’m not doing this alone. It’s straightforward, to the point, and written in a way that made sense to me during a really stressful time. I wish I had found this sooner.

Great professional advice

If you want professional advice based on real life experience, this is the book for you. Examples and stories are down to earth, practice and useful. Somethings can get easily forgotten? But keep this book and reference it back later. Also, it's not only about those you're caring but also the book tells you to care of yourself as a carer. Highly recommended!
