When the familiar ground of everyday knowledge and skills becomes increasingly fragile, people with early-stage dementia often react with insecurity, anxiety, distrust, depression, or even anger. Those caring for a confused parent or partner know how exhausting and burdensome daily care can be. Puzzling behaviors such as wandering at night or running away make shared daily life challenging. Even professional caregivers can quickly find themselves at the end of their rope in the hectic routine of caring for dementia patients. As long as medications do not provide a cure, psychosocial measures are the only way to improve the quality of life for both patients and caregivers. "Proper Help for Dementia" gives family members and caregivers new courage: it shows how to enhance the quality of life for those affected and how to cope with difficult behaviors. The authors convey this knowledge.
