New Book Empowers Dementia Care Partners to Navigate Challenges with Confidence and Calm
Grounded in Olson’s extensive expertise and compassionate approach, “Making Peace with Dementia” redefines how care partners approach their roles. The book highlights a pivotal yet surprising truth: mastering dementia care depends less on changing the individual with dementia and more on equipping care partners with practical strategies to manage and reduce stress.
The guide is divided into three core sections designed to empower care partners by exploring techniques for creating calm in their loved ones, cultivating a supportive environment, and finding personal clarity and balance. Olson’s conversational and relatable style makes complex concepts accessible, helping readers sustain their energy, improve communication, and prepare for the future with pragmatic expectations.
“Families caring for loved ones with dementia often feel overwhelmed and lost,” says Olson. “This book is my way of helping them discover that by learning practical strategies and rethinking their approach, they can create a more meaningful and peaceful experience for everyone involved.”
Ann Olson’s professional background in treating neurological conditions, combined with her work as a dementia educator, coach, and senior living consultant, makes her uniquely positioned to offer this much-needed resource. Additionally, in 2022, Olson founded Sweet Basil Senior Care, an organization dedicated to supporting families navigating life with dementia.
The book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their caregiving skills, reduce tension, and rediscover joy in their relationships with those impacted by dementia.
