Learning to "Play Along" in the Role of Dementia-Challenged Caregiving
A poignant look at what may await many of us: The care of an elderly parent afflicted with disease and rampant dementia. The author cares for his father, a former FBI Special Agent whose greatest attributes are an extravagant sense of humor and a highly comedic personality. The relationship the two share during the father's hospice period -- a lengthy 19-month long timeframe -- is colored by the father's "episodic dementia," a series of funny, real and imagined adventures owing to his condition and his "re-living" of former life experiences as well as those of an FBI Agent.
