My name is Gwendolyn de Geest. I am an educator and author in dementia care in Vancouver, Canada. I work with family and professional caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. For more than two decades I have compiled hundreds of stories of families who are truly living through the dementia.
"Apple Pie" is a very real depiction of the challenges faced when a parent is living at a distance. It's about a daughter who grows up to be her mother's best friend as they navigate Alzheimer's disease together.
The caregiver interview and analysis following the story illustrates many useful coping strategies that worked for this family. These care solutions may prove useful for others dealing with similar challenges.
Blessings, Gwendolyn
