"Throughout my nursing career, regardless of the venue, I have dealt with patients and families who are dealing with dementia. Unfortunately, in both my undergraduate and graduate studies I did not receive any valuable education regarding day to day management of patients with dementia or any guidance on how to help the families or caregivers for these patients. I found this book an invaluable resource for both those in the medical profession as well as family and caregivers of those caring for people with dementia. The consistent approach and the way in which the format is designed as well as realistic tools and guidance in how to navigate the journey of caring for someone with dementia makes this book a must have resource for your practice. I highly recommend this book for everyone and anyone caring for people with dementia, those in health care as well as families and caregivers." (Karen Cammarata, RN BSN MSN CRNP, Family Nurse Practitioner, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) "Finally, a thoughtfully crafted book on dementia that excels in both educating the reader and remaining easily comprehensible. This book is an invaluable reference for caregivers, both professional and familial. Its size makes the book portable, enabling the user to keep it close at home or in the community.

The reference section is conveniently organized for quick access, offering guidance through a variety of situations. Encouragement from the authors feels genuine, with reminders to the readers the importance of self-care. Compassionately written, These Three Things should be considered an essential addition to the 'toolbox' of every caregiver dedicated to supporting individuals living with dementia." (Allison Polesnak, BS, CTRS, Recreation Therapist, Pennsylvania, USA) "These Three Things: A Guide for Navigating the Dementia Journey is a compassionate and insightful resource for individuals caring for loved ones living with dementia. Each page is filled with practical advice and tangible action steps that help carepartners navigate the emotional and physical challenges that come with this journey. It provides clear explanations of the changes associated with different forms of dementia, which helps carepartners better anticipate challenges and manage expectations. A truly invaluable tool in the caregiver's toolbox, These Three Things offers essential guidance on connecting with individuals living with dementia, helping carepartners foster more meaningful interactions. I highly recommend this book to anyone supporting a loved one experiencing cognitive changes.

" (Anneliese Perry, MS, NHA Program Manager, Aging Initiatives, Jewish Healthcare Foundation; Statewide Coordinator, Dementia Friendly Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, USA) "These Three Things offers many controlled choices for readers learning to care for individuals living with impaired minds. The three authors' approach to address enriched care of loved ones with dementia balances the goals of safety and optimum happiness for both the loved one with dementia and their caregivers. I know these approaches are effective because my father had the blessing of care received from one of the authors of this book. Tina Opina was the Recreation Supervisor at a memory care facility where my father, Tom, was housed leading up to his death in 2014. Our family actively engaged and learned from many of the approaches defined in this book to maintain Tom's extreme happiness while living with Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, I have drawn on past experiences with my father and applied principles defined in this book to my current occupation of paraprofessional for the past 9 years."
