Book Description
Caring for someone with dementia presents different challenges than caring for others with health care issues.People with dementia don't "play by the rules" that signify approaching death from disease or old age. This booklet outlines the issues and progress that a person with dementia will probably follow.The aim of this booklet is to provide information regarding approaching end of life to those people, family and significant others, who are making decisions for and caring for someone with dementia. It would be given to the family upon admission to the Palliative Care program or to any family that is having to address the eating and not eating dilemma.Like it's companions, Gone From My Sight and The Eleventh Hour, How Do I Know You? is short, written in large print, and the information is conveyed in a simple, direct yet gentle manner.
