Compassionate Care: A Practical Handbook For Dementia Caregiving: Navigating the Financial, Legal. and Technological Aspects of Care
Ease your stress and lighten the load of caregiving with this guide that equips you with the tools and confidence to provide exceptional care while preserving your loved one's financial and legal security.
Imagine it's the end of a long you've just settled your loved one into bed, a task that grows more heart-wrenching as dementia slowly dims the light in their eyes.
The silence of the night echoes the thoughts you often whisper to yourself—how much longer can you juggle the costs that keep adding up?
The pile of bills seems to stare back at you, each one a story of care, of sacrifice, of love.
Then there's the legal side—documents that might as well be riddles, and the daunting system that feels indifferent to your struggles.
It's a story shared by so many who walk the caregiving path — a path where according to the Alzheimer's Association, families like yours spend over $5,000 a year on dementia care out of pocket.
But take heart. This book is a hand in the dark, a friend who gets it, who knows that behind every struggle is a moment spent with your loved one that you wouldn't trade for the world.
It's a guide that understands not just the 'how-to' but also the 'how you feel.'
With financial and legal planning strategies tailored to the challenges of dementia care, you’ll get guidance that will lighten the weight you carry as a caregiver.
This is where overwhelm meets its match, where your caregiving journey turns from a solo trek to a supported journey — one step, one day, one page at a time.
In this must-read guide, you’ll key financial resources that can help shoulder the costs of memory care without breaking the bankA roadmap to understanding and maximizing health insurance and Medicaid, preventing overpayment for care servicesA 10-step plan to take the guesswork out of managing a loved one's finances, designed for clarity and simplicityA clear, jargon-free explanation of legal documents and how they can protect both you and your loved oneHow to craft a will that stands strong, with nine vital points to consider that honor your loved one's legacy amidst dementia's challengesA glimpse into the latest tech tools created to support caregivers and enhance the lives of those with dementia, making each day a little brighterThe 10 most important questions to guide you in choosing an elder care attorney, ensuring your loved one's rights and well-being are front and centerFuture-proof care approaches that adapt to medical advancements and evolving care environments

About the author
L.E. Summers
6 booksL.E. Summers is the author of Compassionate Care: Navigating Dementia Together, Compassionate Care: A Practical Handbook for Dementia Caregiving, and Compassionate Care: Accepting the Dementia Diagnosis.
Their work, written primarily for caregivers, is focused on caring for loved ones through their old age, with a particular focus on dementia. They’re passionate about readers maintaining their own health and quality of life as they care for their loved ones and provide practical solutions to help them.
Now retired, the former I.T. professional began their own caregiving journey when their father passed away. Summers’ 85-year-old mother had been suffering from dementia for seven years and needed consistent care. They retired from their role and focused on learning about the disease and taking care of her, which they continued to do for the remainder of her life. Their experience and learning changed their trajectory, and they became passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience with others to make a difference to more people.
This launched Summers into a whole new level of research. They realized that the experience of caring for their mother was unique, as is the case for many caregivers, and they widened their research to help more people, accommodating the vast array of experiences encompassed by caregivers.
Summers has two grown children, of whom they are extremely proud. Now able to enjoy the freedom of their retirement, they’re looking forward to traveling and spending more time writing. They’re passionate about music and love researching music history – as well as Native American archeology, with which they’re fascinated.

practical and supportive
This book covers all the bases in trout flinching. It gives caregivers an outline of tasks to get them through the ordeal. The overview is wonderfully detailed and thorough, including agencies and organizations that provide financial and other support. At the same time, the tone is warm and compassionate and encourages family to do self care and keep the demands in a kind of perspective. I will recommend this to friends and clients.
