Dawn’s Dementia Field Guide by Dawn Horne is now available in paperback published by Lioness Writing Ltd. Written from a unique, personal perspective, this uplifting 30-page guide offers practical insights and coping strategies for individuals facing the challenges of dementia. Dawn’s warm and empowering voice invites readers to embrace the possibilities of joy, resilience, and fulfilment in the face of life with dementia.

Diagnosed at 77 with both Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer’s, Dawn Horne began seeking ways to adapt to her new reality but found limited resources that resonated with her experiences. Dawn’s Dementia Field Guide was born out of her determination to share a helpful, real-world approach for others on similar journeys. Drawing from her own life, she provides practical tips on managing memory, mood, and health, as well as moments of humour and honest reflections that bring light to a challenging path.

“I wanted to create something that shows life with dementia can still be full of purpose, and even fun” says Dawn, who is now 80 and remains passionate about supporting others with dementia.

Dawn’s positive outlook and resilience make this guide a beacon of hope for anyone navigating the challenges of dementia.
