Their work, written primarily for caregivers, is focused on caring for loved ones through their old age, with a particular focus on dementia. They're passionate about readers maintaining their own health and quality of life as they care for their loved ones, and provide practical solutions to help them do this.
Now retired, the former I.T. professional began their own caregiving journey when their father passed away. Summers' 85-year-old mother had been suffering from dementia for seven years and needed consistent care. They retired from their role and focused on learning about the disease and taking care of her, which they continued to do for the remainder of her life. Their experience and learning changed their trajectory, and they became passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience with others in order to make a difference to more people.
This launched Summers into a whole new level of research. They realized that the experience of caring for their mother was unique, as is the case for many caregivers, and they widened their research to help more people, accommodating the vast array of experiences encompassed by caregivers.
Summers has two grown children, of whom they are extremely proud. Now able to enjoy the freedom of their retirement, they're looking forward to traveling and spending more time writing. They're passionate about music and loves researching music history – as well as Native American archeology, with which they're fascinated.lihat lebih sedikit
