 RECOMMEND BOOK FOR LOVED ONES TO UNDERSTAND DEMENTA AND ALZHIEMER PATIENT"S Jul 22, 2010
I highly recommend this book. My sister lives in another state
and has dementia. I understand her depression and confusion now
that I read "THE 36 HOUR DAY."
 36 Hour Day Jul 13, 2010
My daughter first told me about this book. My wife and I have been
caring for her now deceased father who had Alzheimers, My Mom also has it, and is in a nursing facility. The information in this book is essential for anyone either caring for a loved one that has this devasting disease, or that knows someone who is. It is informative,timely, and concise. It is easy for the layperson to read and understand. I highly recommend it!

For The Entire Family Jul 01, 2010
When our family first learned that our Mother had Alzheimer disease, we were devastated. After we all read "The 36-Hour Day", there was a great deal of relief. Although Alzhemier and other dementing illnesses can seem catastrophic, this book reads like a freindly family doctor givng you straight forward, no-nonsense advice. It covers all aspects of dealing with the family member, from explaining just what dementia is and how it can appear, to how you can deal with it appropriately without losing your patience or embarrasing your family member. Medical help, daily care, medical problems, behavior, mood, legal issues, common compassion and basic 'rules of thumb' are thoroughly covered. Several "examples" of previous family incidents are mentioned with thoughts on how to address each and every one. Great care has been crafted into this book and I highly recommend it. You will feel better, thus making the family member you are helping feel better.
The Alzheiner's guikde for family ane care givers Jun 21, 2010
When I was told that I should buy this book, the first thing that ran through my mind where do they figure I;ll find the tome to read it? (My husband also has Melanoma and with mom having the Alzheimer's time seemed to be a precious commodidy)
I broke downand bought it and found it to be a very good investment. I use it as a refererance guide than a book you would sit and read.
Every now and then I find that I have to think on medical terms and not my own language, IE: I mightuse the word pacing and you might find it under wandering,
In the book and the Alzheimer's Association will tell you that the meeting they harve are of great value to you. have yet to attend a meeting, time gets away from me and fast.
We have put a couple of things in order that has been a great help. But I can't see treating my mother like she's 3. I keep trying things til I find 1 that works. Tnis book is good at helping you there.
Also I've found writing a journal is better than writing notes. This way you know the situation that goes with question. I've even use highlighting.
The most important thing that the book and other's that have been through it will you don't be afriad to ask!!!
The other thing I've found that is helpful is have like medic #'s handy non-emergancy. They come for any reason that you may need. Also keep a list of medications and Dr.'s # for any one who may need them. Also if you need to leave town and have respitate care don't forget a local # for them to contact if needed.
