Sample - March 22: "Try to preserve your loved one's comfort level. Respect his privacy and modesty as much as safety and cleanliness will allow. If he requires help, talk to him in comforting words. Explain your understanding of his discomfort in the situation. Consider a visiting nurse a few times a week for bathing. If he is modest about undressing in front of you, try undressing him from the back. Avoid mirrors when undressing him."
What we like best about this book:
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is a constantly changing, constantly challenging act of love. But the stress it imposes upon the caregiver is silent and potentially deadly. Caregivers can find themselves alone and completely in the dark. Coping with Caring sheds light, offers help and addresses the daily stress of caring for someone with AD in an easy to understand, gentle and understanding way that will benefit both you and the person you are caring for.
