“This book is an engaging, thought provoking collection of dialogues, telling the story of a college student embarking on her journey as a memory care caregiver at an assisted living facility. The conversations between her and her residents shed light on the shared human experience, especially that of aging, in an artful and refreshing way. Her hands on experience working as a caregiver provide readers a realistic picture of what caregiving, dementia, and long-term care is like. Not only are these stories informative, they also compel readers to reflect on their personal values and take concrete steps in caring for vulnerable elderly individuals in their community.”
Abby is an amazing college student with a very bright future. I highly recommend this book for anyone who cares for or cares about the elderly among us.
