About this book

Caring for a loved one with dementia is not easy. But with the right guidance and self-care, you can find joy.

As an anesthesiologist, Susan Wilson Krechel spent her career working with geriatric patients. But nothing prepared her for the physically and emotionally demanding role of full-time caregiver after her beloved husband Oliver was diagnosed with dementia. As Oliver's dementia progressed, she saw her own health and wellbeing deteriorate to make her husband's remaining years as comfortable and dignified as possible. For eleven years, Dr. Krechel had the privilege of caring for her husband, and she learned many valuable lessons along the way.

In The Dementia Caregiver's Survival Guide, Dr. Krechel shares pearls of wisdom to ease the burden of caring for a loved one with dementia. Considering the strain on a caregiver, Dr. Krechel's practical advice is designed not only to help caregivers improve the quality of care for their loved ones but also for themselves. Outlining steps to protect a caregiver's health and wealth, Dr. Krechel offers tips on how to deal with the emotional turmoil of inevitable conflicts and how to make self-care a priority. Dr. Krechel's unique perspective and deep understanding of the condition provides much needed support to anyone caring for a loved one with dementia.
