Keeping Mom: A Journey through Dementia (Paperback)

Laurie Anthony began journaling about her mother, Betty Kozar, when she first started showing symptoms of dementia at the age of 93. Her poignant memoir follows her mother as she resides in an independent living, assisted living and eventually, a memory care facility. Her book provides valuable suggestions and strategies that are helpful to both the loved one and the caregiver. Through humor and love, she shares her emotional journey openly and honestly, struggling to accept her mother as she changes, but also realizing that the essence of her mother is still the same.
