Communicating with Love: Creating Joyful Conversations With Memory and Eldercare Residents

As former First Lady Rosalyn Carter said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
  • 6.2 million individuals Americans aged sixty-five and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease.
  • More than 1 in 9 people aged sixty-five and older has Alzheimer’s dementia.
  • You don’t know anyone with dementia? The odds are you know a caregiver. More than eleven million Americans provide unpaid help to individuals with Alzheimer’s.

While the statistics may sound grim, communicating with your impaired loved one doesn’t have to be. It’s hard to visit someone who doesn’t remember you, themselves, or anything in the past. Visits can leave you feeling guilty and reluctant to visit again.

But it doesn’t have to be that way! This book will teach you how to create joyful conversations with the memory impaired that will not only brighten their day, but inspire you to visit more often and with greater satisfaction for you both.

Whether you are the primary caregiver, a paid staff member, a family member, or a friend, this second book in the Caregiver 10 Minutes Guide series provides simple steps to turn a frustrating experience into fulfilling one. From how to deal with those nerve-wracking repetitive questions, to therapeutic fibbing, you’ll learn to listen with your heart, laugh together, and discover how to stay connected to someone you thought was lost to you.
