“This masterful guide is an absolute lifeline for anyone navigating the profound complexities of Alzheimer's caregiving. By bridging the gap between clinical knowledge and daily reality, it delivers a transformative toolkit packed with actionable strategies for managing difficult behaviors.”

Why This Book Exists
You've read the articles. You've watched the videos. You've searched online at 2 a.m. But when your loved one refuses help, accuses you of stealing, becomes angry, asks the same question for the ninth time, or insists nothing is wrong, knowing why dementia happens doesn't necessarily tell you what to do in that moment.
You need to know what to do.
That's why I wrote The Dementia Care Toolkit. Not to explain dementia to you all over again, but to help you figure out what to do when the hard moments actually happen.
When a behavior catches you off guard.
Understand what may be driving it.
When what you've been trying isn't working.
Know what to try next.
When caregiving is taking a toll on you too.
Know how to care for yourself in the process.
Inside the Toolkit
- ✓How to respond in the moments that catch you off guard
- ✓Ways to reduce difficult behaviors before they escalate
- ✓Practical strategies I've shared with thousands of dementia caregivers
- ✓Help for the overwhelm, guilt, and exhaustion that can come with caregiving
- ✓Approaches you can actually use at home, not just ideas that sound good in theory
A Few Lines From the Book
Caregiving often gets easier when we stop telling ourselves we're doing something wrong just because it hurts.
Many caregivers believe that if a decision feels painful, it must be the wrong decision. But some of the hardest caregiving decisions are also the right ones.
Setting a boundary can hurt. Accepting help can hurt. Moving someone to memory care can hurt. Taking away the car keys can hurt.
Pain is not proof that you've failed.
Sometimes pain is simply the cost of loving someone through something neither of you asked for.
From The Dementia Care Toolkit
Every dementia caregiver deserves this book.
Dr. Natali Edmonds transforms overwhelming, heartbreaking moments into opportunities for understanding, connection, and confidence. The Dementia Care Toolkit is practical, compassionate, and full of the kind of real-world advice that truly makes a difference. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

About Dr. Natali
I'm Dr. Natali Edmonds, a board-certified geropsychologist and the founder of Dementia Careblazers. More than 229,000 caregivers follow Careblazers on YouTube, and more than 86,000 read my emails each week.
For more than a decade, I worked with families in hospitals and clinics who were trying to figure out what to do after a dementia diagnosis. So often, they were given information about dementia, a follow-up appointment months away, and very little help for everything happening in between.
That's a big part of why I created Careblazers, and why I wrote this book.
I wanted caregivers to have practical guidance they could turn to when something hard was happening and they needed to know what to do next.
I wish this book were handed to every single dementia caregiver the moment they stepped into this role. Dr. Natali is a gift to the dementia community.
