Description

Dementia presents a complex and uncertain journey, leaving both the diagnosed individual and their loved ones questioning what lies ahead. How can one prepare? What steps can family and caregivers take to cope?

In this poignant and timely book, Marian Heemskerk offers practical insights for individuals diagnosed with dementia and their caregivers drawn from over forty-four years in the healthcare industry. Through a blend of educational content and real-life stories of those affected by dementia and Alzheimer's disease, Marian provides guidance through the challenges of the disease. She emphasizes the importance of preparation and understanding the roles of family, friends, and professional caregivers.

The Crow Jacket not only provides support and education but also honours and celebrates the crucial role caregivers play in the lives of those with dementia by expressing gratitude for caregivers who enrich the lives of the elderly with compassion and care.
