This is an excellent booklet with reassuring and practical tips for anyone facing the distressing diagnosis of dementia. Easy to read, clear, insightful and comforting and with 850,000 people suffering dementia in the UK (2015 figure), this is a really helpful tool.
Author Jo Johnson’s experience and clinical expertise is evident in her discussion and compassion on the subject of both dementia suffering and dementia care. She explains the condition clearly and gives hope to both the sufferer and the carer. She confronts the pain and gives the carer permission to ask for help – in fact she insists the person reaches out for help.
