Lisa Skinner’s original thinking and counter-intuitive solutions provide family members, spouses, children, caregivers and others with a concise guide and the tools they need to effectively manage the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
NAPA, Calif. — InTruth, Lies & Alzheimer’s – Its Secret Faces, behavioral specialist Lisa Skinner—along with her co-author Douglas W. Collins—cuts through the confusion and overwhelming fear that loved ones experience in taking care of people with dementia. We provide a new set of tools that allow caregivers to enjoy more of the time they spend together. Skinner also has a six-week online training course with an accompanying workbook where she shares a rich trove of stories culled from her years in the eldercare industry providing insight into the difficult questions families face, including:
- How do I respond to a loved one’s false belief?
- Am I abandoning my parent if I place them in the care of professionals?
- How will the Covid-19 pandemic impact my choice of a memory care facility or at-home care?
- How do we make the best of our time left together with our loved ones?
“My hope is that this book will vastly improve your ability to manage the challenging symptoms and behaviors associated with brain disease. Losing a loved one to Alzheimer’s or dementia is one of the biggest challenges you’ll ever face, but there is hope. The journey will be tough, and you’ll have to learn some new skills. But by utilizing the tools in these chapters, you can resume spending quality time with your loved one, and that’s the real magic,” says Skinner in the book.
Through her decades of work as a community counselor, private adviser, regional director of senior care facilities, trainer, and speaker, she has helped thousands of families and caregivers understand the daunting challenges of brain disease.
Skinner is a highly recognized expert and media guest who can talk about:
- Aging Political Leadership in America and the Decisions They Make
- The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Alzheimer’s Patients
- How to Empower Caregivers and Return to What Matters
- The Secret Faces of Alzheimer’s Disease – Start the Conversation
