Truth, Lies, & Alzhermer's - Its Secret Faces by Lisa Skinner

“Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – Its Secret Faces” continues Skinner’s quest of working with dementia-related illnesses and teaching families and caregivers how to better understand the daunting challenges that accompany these brain diseases. As someone who has had eight family members diagnosed with dementia, and a successful 30 yr career, Lisa has found her calling in helping others through the struggles so they can have a better-quality relationship with their loved ones - through education and by learning new strategies and techniques that offer effective solutions and tools to help them effectively manage the symptoms of brain disease. Through a rich trove of stories culled from her years in the eldercare industry, author Lisa Skinner offers insights into the difficult questions families face, including: - How do I respond to a loved one's false belief? - Am I abandoning my parent if I place them in the care of professionals? - How do we make the best of our time left together?
