Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or Dementia can be a daunting task, both physically and emotionally. When you have to make the decision to place a loved one on a Nursing Home, it can feel like a betrayal. Esther Copeland has lived that journey. She understands the emotional roller-coaster the family of someone with Alzheimer's rides. She dealt with her Mother's dementia for 18 years before her mother passed away. For 15 of those years, her mother was in several nursing homes. Esther shares what she has learned from those experiences in nursing homes; both the good ones and the not so good ones. She has chosen to write a book so that others who follow after will have a guide. The format she has chosen for the book, makes it easy to find a topic. The information is presented concisely but, with both compassion and knowledge gained from experience. You, Your Loved One and The Nursing Home is meant to be a companion that you take with you on this unfamiliar journey. Use it during those times when you feel alone, and like no-one understands. Just leafing through the book, the support you need will be there. No questions, no judgments, just a helpful resource. It is not meant to be a textbook on Alzheimer's. Instead, it offers guidance on how to interact with your loved one and the staff at the nursing home, while at the same time taking care of yourself.

She also shares with us how to find was to find and share the joy of the moment. Copies of this book can be ordered at: http://Blurb.com - Enter title. or contact the author @ CopelandBooks@aol.com
