 The book I wanted to write October 25, 2008

I am a geriatric care manager and was the primary caregiver for my aunt for 7 years before she died from AD. The experience of caring for her was challenging but also very positive and life transforming for me. This book captures the heart of my experience and presents Alzheimer's Disease and caring for a loved one with it in a very life affirming way. It gives hope and meaning to a difficult but not hopeless situation. The many practical ideas presented in the book are invaluable and come straight from the real lives of experienced caregivers. I can highly recommend it.
The companion volume, "Alzheimer's Disease: The Dignity Within: A Handbook for Caregivers, Family and Friends" is also excellent.

This book is a must have for any person dealing with a loved one, friend or client with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. The tips are practical and readable. It is important for those caring for someone with dementia to have the proper tools. Also you want to focus on skills an afflicted person still has. Important also is keeping the mind of an Alzheimer's person active because this will help slow the decline. This book gives you practical tips on how to do that

This book gives a clear and concise summary of changes which occur in the brain and in the behavior of the patient with Alzheimer's Disease. Dividing the book into three sections based on the stages of the disease is very useful. The tips for making life easier can easily be implemented.
