About this title

Synopsis

An inspiring healing narrative as seen through the eyes of a caregiver and her mother who has Alzheimer's Disease. After ten years of in-home caregiving, the author, Sherry M. Bell, Ph.D. was forced to more her mother into a nursing home. Despite their close relationship, she immediately discovered that knowing how-to-visit did not come naturally. Sherry urgently sought new and different ways to improve communications with her mother. Her search led to numerous insights and heart-rending stories based on first-hand experience and current research.

The concepts in Visiting Mom are universal–family members of all ages can learn new and better ways to visit and communicate with leders in their own home, in senior apartments, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, hospitals or in a hospice. The opportunity to visit mom is best understood as a gift.
