2/6/2015 Book Review - When a Family Member Has Dementia - Steps to Becoming a Resilient Caregiver by Susan McCurryRead Now While at the library looking for books about dementia, I came across a title that hit home, When a Family Member Has Dementia-Steps to Becoming A Resilient Caregiver by Susan McCurry. Unlike other books that focus on the memory-impaired person, this book focuses on the caregiver and begins with section one being titled, The Problem: Dementia Caregiving is Hard! The problem is addressed in section two, The Program: Learning the Dementia D.A.N.C.E. The author cleverly summarizes the new way of communicating with the metaphor of dancing and the easy-to-remember acronym. D= Don't Argue!, A=Accept the Disease, N=Nurture Yourself, C=Create Novel Solutions, E=Enjoy the Moment. The book concludes with section three, The Promise: You Can Do It! and caregiver resources. Now that I know "the dance", my family and I are not getting our toes stepped on as often as before.

Thanks for sharing this excellent resource. I never thought of my care-giving as a dance, that's for sure! Do think doctors and social workers who are the initial point of contact for this awful disease ought to have more resources like this one available to give family members at the outset. Thanks again!

Much like dancing, care-giving can be awkward and painful as you get your toes stepped on. Eventually you find your rhythm and it flows better. 2/11/2015 02:52:59 pm
