Dealing with Dementia
()
About this ebook
I have taken the time to document my exposure to dementia in the elderly solely in the hope that anyone who reads this might avoid the mistakes and missteps which I, and my family, might possibly have been able to be better informed about beforehand. My brother and I were very fortunate in that our mother had both excellent legal advice, and that she resided in a state which offered a program offering care to elder citizens. Residents in other areas of the United States often may not be afforded anywhere the same degree of protection, and I urge anyone reading this to research the options available to them very thoroughly long before caring for an elderly parent becomes an issue.
Jeffrey Gowing
The author is a lifelong sailor whose formative years were spent exploring the waters of Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts and cruising the New England coast from Maine to Manhattan. His voyages have taken him from off shore trips to Bermuda, to a stint as a charter and delivery captain based in Miami, the Virgin Islands and the Eastern Caribbean. He now is a resident of San Antonio, Texas and travels to scuba dive in Cozumel, Mexico as often as work and finances permit. Look for his new novel, From El Norte to Real de Catorce, available as of August 2013.
