Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am the author of many books. I have been giving care for over 16+ years in Alzheimer's and Dementia. I found out I love working with the elderly and being a caregiver. I have worked in Memory Care Units, I have worked in State Facilities. Also, I started off as a Personal Care Assistant, Respite Caregiver and Hospice Caregiver. I have worked in every environment available. My mission is to give you a "peace of mind." I want to offer my wisdom and experience to the caregivers, families, and the health professionals who need to be certified / educated in Alzheimer's/Dementia. I want my students to feel equipped in the line of healthcare and to understand the Alzheimer's/Dementia client/patient. Lastly, to empathize with the client/patient and their families.

    In "Shattered Illusions," Alicia A. Reid pens a profound narrative that resonates with a gentle urgency, drawing readers into a world where open-mindedness serves as a bridge over the chasm of misunderstanding. From the very first page, Reid's words, particularly her assertion that we "must hold space for the realities of others, even if they challenge our understanding," set the tone for a journey of introspection and compassion. Her writing radiates patience and kindness—qualities so desperately needed in today's world. As she weaves her tale, the reader is enveloped in a perspective that not only enlightens but also extends an invitation to grow alongside her characters.

    Alicia's unique ability to articulate the nuances of human emotion and conflict through her patient and kind viewpoint makes "Shattered Illusions" a beacon of hope. Her narrative acts as a mirror reflecting our own biases and encouraging a deeper understanding of those around us. As I dive deeper into the book, I find myself eagerly anticipating how her insights will continue to influence and mold my perspective. Reid is not just telling a story; she is guiding us towards a more empathetic understanding of the complexities of human relationships, ensuring that her readers come away not just entertained, but fundamentally changed.
