Mary E. Jordan Haight Livres

If you have concerns about you or a loved one developing dementia, Mary Jordan guides you through how to assess your personal risk and the many things you can do to mitigate that risk based on the latest evidence.

Practical self-help strategies for older individuals and their families to help slow the onset of Mild Cognitive Impairment. Includes activities, health and lifestyle changes, memory aids, therapies and technological aids. Also suitable for those with early stage dementia wishing to prevent the condition worsening.

Mary and Noel, based on running a joint dementia clinic, show how to understand the biological reality of dementia, readjust our thinking about the condition so that we can accept rather than fear it; and gain the expertise to manage the condition as a social rather than medical problem.

Mary Jordan, author of The Essential Carer's Guide, explains what you can expect when you receive a diagnosis of one of the many causes of dementia and what you can do to manage life going forward - how you can slow the progress of symptoms and how you can maximise available support.

With extensive experience of the NHS, caring for elderly relatives, and - most recently - working for a major dementia charity, Mary Jordan has updated and revised her Essential Carer's Guide to provide the key information you need when faced with caring for an increasingly frail relative or friend.

Mary Jordan brings together information from a wealth of research papers and other sources that give strong pointers about how changes in diet and lifestyle might reduce the risk or mitigate the consequences of dementia. She reviews the empirical evidence on causes and connections so that readers can judge for themselves what might be true.

This is a guide to providing practical and emotional support for a dying person while coping with your own feelings, whether you are a professional carer or a friend/relative.
