Practical Help for Families and Their Loved Ones
digital
Product description...
“Mom, Don’t You Recognize Your Grandkids?”
Mom hasn’t been herself lately. She’s constantly misplacing her keys and she is more and more disoriented, even in her own home. Is this normal aging, or is it the start of dementia?
FACT: one in three seniors in the United States is affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Whether it concerns a parent or perhaps a spouse, virtually everyone knows someone with the disease or knows a family touched by its effects.
FACT: It is most beneficial to recognize the early symptoms of dementia and to respond to them, whether or not the disease is medically diagnosed.
FACT: Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are progressive and incurable.
In UNLOCKING THE DOOR TO DEMENTIA BY LAUREN, families and caregivers will read how to understand and navigate their loved one’s new reality. They will learn:
• What is normal behavior (ex., occasionally having difficulty finding the right word while speaking), vs. what is suspect (frequently struggling to find words or substituting words for others)
• Practical suggestions concerning the behaviors of dementia, such as Wandering, Anxiety, and Financial Irresponsibility
• Practical suggestions for handling difficult situations of dementia, such as moving a loved one to a new home or facility, reducing the risk of falling, and taking away the car keys
From knowing the early signs of dementia, to managing daily activities, to handling palliative care and hospice, families and caregivers will gain the confidence and encouragement needed when their roles are reversed or changed, and they want to provide their loved ones with the best care possible.

Lawrence N. Weston
author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
