SHOW GUESTS: Deborah Shouse and Ron Zoglin

“A ‘must read’ for every care partner because it really helps you to look at things differently! This book is very special in the way it provides you with hundreds of suggestions on how to be a good care partner for someone with dementia and enjoy this yourself as well.” - Marc Wortmann, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Disease International. Finding the connection with a loved one afflicted with dementia is a challenge millions of people face. Connecting in the Land of Dementia also features the innovative ideas of about seventy thought leaders in the field of dementia and creative areas such as music, movement, cooking, nature, storytelling, poetry, movies, technology, and more. The benefits readers can look forward to when they do the activities in this book together — increased energy, increased socialization, reduced anxiety, and chances to express yourselves in new and meaningful ways. The ideas are easy to do and they are adaptable to all ages and abilities. Caregivers can simply incorporate them into their daily routine and they will enrich their time together.
