She has three caregiving books: The Caring Spirit Approach to Eldercare  Meaningful Connections: Positive Ways to Be Together When a Loved One Has Dementia The Mindful Caregiver: Finding Ease in the Caregiving Journey Learn: What exactly is a mindful caregiver? Are there strategies to handle resistance when the care recipient has dementia, doesn't want to move, give up driving, or go to the doctor, etc.? How does resilience play a role in caregiving? Does advertising play into how we perceive dementia and caregiving? What are your thoughts about feeling unable to do things that used to be very common for a person with dementia? What is compassionate deception? What is the Spirit of Caring? Nancy tells us about the "Activity Grab and Go Boxes" and how they can help families experience more meaningful time together.
