He gently and simply explains what happens as dementia progresses, and makes sense of behaviour which carers can find incomprehensible. He offers valuable pointers on how to cope with dementia, always focusing on the humanity of the patient, and the importance of their feelings, eg by using touch, tone. A very valuable book.

I love this book. You can pick it up and read any chapter and feel energised. I found it cathartic and uplifting and would recommend it to anyone whether about to retire, or merely wanting to step down the stress ladder and get life's priorities right. There are many books about down-sizing ones life but this is well written, humourous, and great fun.
