Bringing years of experience working with dementia patients throughout her storied career, Dr. Lucy Andrews prepares professional staff and family caregivers to give dementia patients the best quality of life. Throughout the many years she's spent working with dementia and Alzheimer's clients and their families, Dr. Lucy Andrews has learned a few important truths. One of these is that families and nursing staff alike face considerable challenges when caring for loved ones with dementia. While the disease can be trying for everyone involved, Dr. Andrews believes that patients and caretakers can have meaningful, fulfilling lives together-and it starts by choosing the right activities to focus your time on.

As an experienced nurse, Dr. Andrews shares her top activities for prolonging memory and quality of life in this life-changing new book, Joyful Moments Unlocked. The full year of activities contained in this book will support dementia patients while also significantly easing the burden for caregivers. These research-based activities help patients have fun and stay engaged. They also help families recapture their time together, restoring a sense of normalcy and connection. With clear scientific explanations, detailed how-tos, and a nurturing writing style, you'll experience a more meaningful, lasting relationship with your family member with dementia.
