Books for People with Dementia

This is one of the first books that people should read when dementia enters their world, whether they are the person diagnosed, a family member, a care professional, or doctor. In this wonderful book, Wendy Mitchell beautifully shares her personal experiences during the early stage of Alzheimer’s Disease.  She offers an honest description of many of the tricks that the brain can play on people living with dementia.  But, just as importantly, she also shares the sense of humor, determination, and ingenuity that often got her past those tricks.

​

She offers crucial insight into the feelings, abilities, needs, and desires of someone living with dementia, which will help people recently diagnosed feel less alone and will help care partners understand how best to support them. Dementia care relationships could be greatly improved and dementia stigma greatly reduced if everyone read, and discussed, this lovely story that the author so kindly shared!
