The background to this book is that the secular world is letting people down. There is no cure on the horizon, and the pharmaceutical companies are reducing their investment. Too little advice is available, yet at least two-thirds of dementia sufferers are cared for in their own homes. This book offers practical help based on Christian values of compassion, loving and serving, developed from the insight - supported by huge experience - that the light may be off, but someone's still home. From hundreds of interviews and hands-on experience Louise offers counsel on what dementia is, and is not; how to make your home a safe place; how to understand and handle challenging behaviour; brain boosting; slowing the onset of dementia; how churches can help; when specialist care is needed; and illuminating stories of what has helped others.
