(Tracy Cram Perkins) About the Author Tracy Cram Perkins's twelve-plus years of experience caregiving for two parents with dementia provided the nucleus of Dementia Home Care. This guide grew from the questions presented by family members and friends overwhelmed by the caregiving challenges with their family member(s) or friends and the frustration of not being able to find the caregiver hands-on answers in one book. Tracy and her husband reside on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula.
