 For Hospice Volunteers & Workers Apr 21, 2010
I bought this book to share with my Hospice Volunteers. It has a lot of great information for anyone working with or living with someone with Alzheimer's.
Great explanation of the loss of brain function Apr 20, 2010
The pie charts that show the disease's progression were spectacular. The tips were well organized and succinct. I highlighted much in this book, to use as a handy guide and reference. It was an eye-opening experience to read about bizarre behaviors that I thought were unique to my 91 year old Godmother. As I learn more about this awful disease, I now see and understand she is exhibiting classic symptoms of advanced Alzheimer's. It helps to know that her behaviors are not directed at me as I originally thought, but that she is sick. If you think you are alone and there is no escape, you must read this book. I finished in less than a couple of hours. Best investment of my time and money that I have made in a long time.

 A Helpful Guide Apr 17, 2010
I purchased 3 books on Alzheimer's from Amazon. This one is helpful for all the tips and suggestions. It covers resources available, suggestions on how to handle legal matters, and many other issues.
It's very important for the caregiver of an Alzheimer's patient to have this type of information.
There is another book I found even more helpful. It's called 'Learning How to Speak Alzheimer's'.

Very good handbook for the disease Jan 07, 2010
This book is a good reference on various stages of the disease. I find myself going back to it every few months to review certain points. It is very helpful to care givers.
