About this title

Synopsis

This book provides a plan of caring for both the care recipient and caregiver. It can revolutionize the way you approach dementia patients. It can also provide a necessary lifeline of knowledge to those who care for them, both in facilities as well as at home. It is written for the busy caregiver and includes several dozen activities with step-by-step directions. Julia Soto Lebentritt shares intimate and touching caregiving moments that will make your work more reflective and passionate. Discover the joy of connecting more deeply with those for whom you care -- and love. "In over 25 years in the field of psychiatric nursing and human services, I have never come across a plan of caring for both the patient and caretaker as beautifully integrated as is found here." --Christine Knowles, RN, BC About the Author Julia Soto Lebentritt is a "lullabologist" and the owner of Spontaneous Care Communications. Her life work -- recording, presenting, and producing lullabies from the many cultures that make up our American society -- is commended for its clarification of the lullaby as a genre and for exploration of multicultural settings. Several national, state, and local grants were awarded her lullaby projects, resulting in numerous performances, productions, and workshops about the transitional use of music and song for all ages. As an eldercare case manager, bereavement facilitator, therapeutic activities director, and family member, she is a caregiver using lullaby traditions. She has certification in Alzheimer's-disease management and has a master of fine arts degree in creative writing. For more about Julia and Reciprocal Care, visit www.reciprocalcare.com.
