About this ebook
When a parent receives a dementia diagnosis, the first year can feel like a whirlwind of confusion, grief, and urgent decisions. This practical guide walks you through exactly what to expect and how to respond, from the initial shock to finding your footing as a carer. You will learn how to communicate effectively with your parent and their medical team, make the home environment safe and comforting, and navigate the legal and financial steps that matter most early on. The book also addresses the emotional and behavioral changes that often appear, while helping you recognise the signs of carer burnout and where to find respite. With clear, compassionate guidance rooted in mainstream clinical consensus, this book helps you become a more confident, informed caregiver. It does not replace professional legal or medical advice, but equips you to ask the right questions and make thoughtful choices. Whether you are just beginning this journey or already deep in the first year, this book offers a steady companion. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
