Caring for someone with dementia can be a challenging, heartbreaking experience … but it can also be rewarding, fulfilling and meaningful.

In Day-to-Day Living With Dementia, Angela Lunde, M.A., an expert in dementia care at Mayo Clinic, helps you take that first step and chart your path toward living well, even in the face of dementia. In her 20 years of experience with dementia, Ms. Lunde has made it her mission to improve emotional well-being and quality of life for those living with dementia and their care partners. This book gives you the research-backed strategies Ms. Lunde applies in her work every day.

· Acknowledge and work through difficult emotions
· Find helpful resources for practical and emotional support
· Understand what someone with dementia may be thinking and feeling
· Learn techniques for coping with common caregiver challenges
· Find ways to care for yourself
