There is a new book on the dementia reading shelf.  I came across this helpful information while perusing my audible library ap and have been listening ever since.  Gary Chapman, author of many versions of “The 5 Love Languages” has partnered with a caregiver (Dr.Edward Shaw) and a relational expert (Debbie Barr) to produce a multi perspective account on how to maintain the love connection with People With Dementia (PWD).

Based on my personal experience of taking care of my own mother and aunt, and befriending many others during our time in assisted living , memory care, and skilled care, I whole heartily agree with what is written in this sweet book. If you need some tips on how to connect or stay connected with PWD, this easy read if for you.
