The inclusion of memory aids and technology recommendations added a modern touch, and the examples of communication techniques were both actionable and compassionate. It doesn’t just speak to caregivers—it seems to truly understand them. For someone starting this path or even seasoned in caregiving, this feels less like a manual and more like a companion.
