Summary
Details

The Invisible Beast shines a light on the human side of the heartbreaking disease of dementia.

This book highlights the fact that, even if dementia is a progressive disease that changes a person's life and even with the challenges of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, it's often forgotten that those diagnosed with dementia are still individuals with personal likes and dislikes. And, these individuals are equally deserving of acceptance and respect.

Throughout her working life in the aged care and support industry, Elizabeth D'Alessandri is passionate about helping people understand that although someone has a diagnosis of dementia, the diagnosis does not totally define who the person is.

This must-read book shares Elizabeth's experiences in her role as a carer for many beloved family members living with dementia and how she wants all patients to have the opportunity to live with dignity and respect.

Dementia doesn't discriminate.

If you find yourself in a position where you need to find care for your loved one, the insights you will learn from this book will open your eyes to the world of dementia care and how best to support your loved one.
