Douglas Collins offers impactful books for Caregivers for #Alzheimers and #dementia Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – Its Secret Faces is a concise guide for caregivers navigating the heartbreaking challenges of having a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. ? Authors: Lisa Skinner and Douglas Collins https://lnkd.in/emJnwY5Y Everyone has a story about Alzheimer’s. “I have personally seen Alzheimer’s disease and dementia up close and personal,” shared Collins. “I lost both my grandmother and mother to Alzheimer’s disease and my father-in-law to dementia.?Writing these two books has given me a unique and impactful medium to provide tips for caregivers on how to deal with the challenges of cognitive decline.” The book and the workbook offer original thinking and counter-intuitive solutions for family members, spouses, children, and caregivers. The books provide the effective tools to effectively manage the symptoms of brain disease. You will learn techniques like joining their reality, reminiscence therapy, and techniques for the stranger in the mirror, aggression, aphasia, wandering and sundowning symptoms commonly encountered with Alzheimer’s disease. Readers of the books will develop a roadmap to return to what matters. Caregivers and family members will feel empowered to work through the difficulties of the disease and enjoy their remaining time with their loved one(s). “My friend Phil Vassar personally wrote (In the chapter called?'Bringing Mom Home') the story of how bringing his mom home to Nashville was the best solution for his family during the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Collins. “Translating both of our books into Spanish has allowed our book to travel far and wide, reaching people who might never have found caregiving solutions for their loved ones,” stated Collins.?“We used native Spanish speakers for the translation. Many homes around the world are multi-generational in terms of family.” Truth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – Its Secret Faces is also available as an audiobook with narration by Angie Tripp. https://lnkd.in/gt57HJJg ABOUT DOUGLAS W.
