What Caregivers Say
Book Overview
“Designated Survivor – Real Talk, Real Tactics for the Dementia Care Journey” is a candid, heartfelt revelation of one man’s repeated journey through the minefields of dementia care. The narrative is a tough conversation… about sacrifice… about navigating the legal, medical, mental, social, and household minefields of caregiving… empowering caregivers with solutions to foreseeable problems that critically impact their own well-being. The book will be available on this site and in bookstores in February of 2027.
Each chapter blends hard-won lessons with dark humor and practical tools. The book serves as an ‘emergency response’ – part warning, wisdom, care kit, and companion for those plunged into caregiving’s uncharted terrain. Its voice – direct and relatable – is an ever-present tabletop friend, reassuring readers with each visit: “you CAN care, cope, and survive!”
