Diagnosis Dementia by Nicole J Smith

Diagnosis Dementia by Nicole J Smith

Diagnosis: Dementia is part memoir, part prescriptive book that shares the story of one daughter's post pandemic realization that her mother was showing signs of cognitive impairment and the family's journey in learning how to navigate the medical, financial, legal and emotional aspects of eldercare. Nicole's mother was fierce in her denial of being diagnosed with dementia and clever in her efforts to thwart any steps toward finding a safe and socially engaging senior residence for her.Medication management, driving concerns, financial fraud vulnerability, paranoia, mistrust and family feuds are all addressed in this book. Most families are forced into action when a crisis occurs; a stroke, a fall, an automobile accident. Being aware and taking the time to begin the conversation around aging and dying before the crisis call comes makes a big difference in how our families cope and how our loved ones are cared for during elderhood.
