Caring for a Loved One with Dementia at Home? The AlzBetter Family Manual Can Help.

When a family member is diagnosed with dementia, it can be overwhelming to know how to provide proper care at home. The AlzBetter Family Manual is a comprehensive guide to equip care partners with the knowledge and tools needed to improve quality of life for those with dementia.

This manual will teach you:

• How to adapt your home environment to support cognition and minimize disorientation. Simple changes to lighting, furniture arrangement, and more can make a big difference.
• Techniques for providing meaningful engagement and activities tailored to your loved one’s interests and abilities.
• Strategies for handling challenging behavioral symptoms with compassion. Learn to identify triggers at the root of these behavioral expressions and respond in a way that diffuses distress.
• Self-care tips for care partners, such as managing stress and seeking support. You can’t care for someone else without caring for yourself first.

This 149 page paperback book with a glossy cover is printed in a standard US Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches).

Whether you’re a family member or professional caregiver, the AlzBetter Family Manual provides the insights you need to turn your home into a place of comfort, connection, and dignity for those with dementia.
