Produktbeschreibung
Barbara Lewis's husband Steve was 55 years old when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, while the two of them were still working full time and parenting their nine year old daughter. While dementia at any age is tragic, a young-onset diagnosis can be especially challenging. Mary Archer had created a caregiving business with a special focus on those with young-onset dementia, and Steve became a client. Barbara and Mary later realized that their common experiences, and those of others they'd met, were stories that needed to be told. This is not a how-to book, rather it is a collection of stories of those with lived experiences. Readers will be motivated, encouraged, supported, and reminded that they are not alone on this journey with young-onset dementia. Mary Archer worked as a volunteer and employee in various dementia care settings over the course of twenty years, including nursing homes and adult day programs. She often noticed those who had mild forms of dementia, or who fit the description of young-onset, and wondered if they were being well served. Their needs seemed different than those who were older or had more advanced dementia. Did they need more physical activity? More tasks to keep them feeling productive? More opportunities to share their stories? More social connections? How could they make the best of their few remaining years? Mary created her non-profit caregiving business with these questions in mind.
