关于作者
Debra Lewis is a registered nurse with a bachelor’s degree in nursing and the author of Dementia Caregiving 101. She has also penned a compilation of short stories entitled RN Real Nurse Stories Told by a Registered Nurse.
Debra has practiced in multiple fields of nursing and has extensive knowledge across many medical specialties. She aims to help caregivers understand the nature of dementia—what to expect, how the disease progresses, and what type of support they can seek at each stage.
As someone who has been a professional caregiver and a personal one to her parents, she seeks to help others strike the perfect balance between caring for others and looking out for themselves. Her experiences have given her a full-spectrum view into the progression and manifestation of dementia, and she shares effective strategies she uses and personal discoveries she has made in her work.
Debra is a wife and mother of four adult children. She has two grandbabies. Debra moved back home to Arizona to be close to family and friends. She struggles every day with autoimmune issues but continues to work as a nurse and is now a self-publisher. Through her words, she hopes to help readers get through a challenging but incredible life experience: caring for a person with dementia.
Debra will tell you that when asked what has been the most challenging thing she has ever done-practiced nursing, raising four kids(set of twins in there) as a single mom, or caring for her own parents and watching them pass from this horrible disease…it would be the latter.
