Merideth was born and raised in country NSW and now lives in Sydney.
When her mother became ill with dementia she took on the role of being her full-time carer.
Merideth went on to write a book based on her personal experience of caring for her mother for over three years.
‘Caring for Somebody with Dementia’ details mechanisms for dealing with symptoms and offers advice on personal care, frailty and the practicalities of caring.
The book is written in such a way to show that while dealing with delusions, personal care and the other day-to-day challenges it is possible for the carer to maintain a genuine unity with the person they are looking after and that caring can be a rewarding even inspiring experience.
