A quick, succinct informative read for caregivers on how to handle some common behaviors with dementia loved ones. Laced with profanity for emphasis on some of the topics. A fun read for a not fun subject.

[Debra Goldstein · Rating 5 out of 5]

Make Dementia Your B*itch is a spot on guide to understanding and handling dementia behaviors. Not only does Dr. Jablonski define the issues simply and with examples, she provides solutions in the book and avenues to follow beyond the book. A must read (or gift) for caregivers or families dealing with loved ones with dementia.

I have read many books on dementias. This book gave me the most practical advice on care of a person with dementia. Rita Jablonski is a practiced caregiver and passes on methods learned by experience and research. I’m sure I will reread this book often to make life more enjoyable both for myself and my loved ones.
