Me, You, and Memories: A Way to Hold Alzheimer's and Dementia Back

"I hope this book offers a sense of hope and connection to those looking for support on their journey."

Living with Alzheimer's/dementia, or being the loved one of someone who is, is tough. Denise Coravelli has worked with enough individuals and their families to know. After moving to Bozeman, Montana, in search of a fresh start and dabbling in multiple career paths, Denise found her true calling: consulting people diagnosed with Alzheimer's/dementia and helping them resist the disease for as long as possible.

Having previously established an Alzheimer's/dementia unit during her time as a retirement home activities director, Denise was well-equipped to give her clients the support they needed to keep "Bruce" (the name her clients gave the disease, as it was easier to remember) in check. Through daily exercises, routines, and activities, they navigated the evolving stages of Alzheimer's/dementia together with high spirits and positive results. Although her clients couldn't elude the effects of Bruce forever, they were able to retain their sense of self for longer than they and Denise had thought possible.

Me, You, and Memories is Denise's guide to helping individuals with Alzheimer's/dementia fight back while feeling confident in the ring. With example worksheets and helpful resources, you and your loved ones will be motivated to take the first steps toward creating a game plan that works for you. This touching and resonant book is an encouraging reminder that you are never alone in your Alzheimer's/dementia journey-in fact, you may even feel closer than ever to the people you love most.
