On the Shelf
Here are a few recent publications on the shelves of Audria team-members. We highly recommend these books for those interested in the dementia care field, personally or professionally.
In a quiet coastal town where gardens bloom and memories fade, Forget Me Not unfolds as a haunting, character-driven mystery that explores the fragile boundaries between truth, identity, and the past.
Moira Briggs, a retired Sergeant Major living with young-onset dementia, begins her week with familiar rituals: polishing boots, tending thyme, and remembering her late husband. But when she visits her old home, now rented to her nephew Jamie, she finds it eerily silent. Inside, she discovers Jamie's body, triggering a murder investigation and a reckoning with memory itself.
The Adaptive Caregiver Model offers a compassionate and practical guide for anyone supporting a person living with dementia. Drawing on real-world caregiving experience, this book introduces a simple yet powerful framework that helps caregivers understand behaviour, adapt their approach, and preserve dignity, connection and wellbeing throughout the changing stages of dementia. With clear insights and humane strategies, it empowers both professional and family caregivers to respond with confidence, empathy and flexibility when care becomes most challenging.
