Caregiver’s Compass – A New Book Helping Caregivers Get Through Dementia with Confidence

Caregiver’s Compass, by Alex J. Buison, offers real-life stories, expert advice, and practical tools for caregivers supporting loved ones with dementia.

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, July 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Caring for a loved one with dementia is a journey filled with challenges, emotions, and uncertainty. Many caregivers struggle to find the right support, guidance, and resources to help them through the process. Alex J. Buison, an experienced nurse and caregiver advocate, has written Caregiver’s Compass, a heartfelt and practical book designed to support and empower caregivers as they navigate the complex world of dementia care.
With over 25 years in nursing, specializing in hospice and gerontology care, Buison understands the struggles caregivers face. His new book provides real-life stories, expert knowledge, and easy-to-follow caregiving strategies to help caregivers provide compassionate and effective care while taking care of their own well-being.

A Personal Journey of Care and Compassion
Alex Buison’s passion for caregiving comes from his personal story. Born in the Philippines and moving to the United States at a young age, he experienced loss early in life. When his mother passed away, his grandparents became his primary caregivers, teaching him the value of care, love, and respect for elders.
As he pursued a career in nursing, he realized how physically and emotionally demanding caregiving can be, especially for those looking after family members with dementia. His journey took him across the country as a travel nurse in cardiac care, but he found his true calling in hospice and dementia caregiving. Through his experiences, he witnessed the emotional toll caregiving takes on families and knew he had to do something to help.
This book is his way of giving back, to share his knowledge, experiences, and insights to help caregivers provide better care while maintaining their own mental and emotional well-being.
