This book is full of information that has helped our family understand and support our family member who has memory problems.
It was comforting to read the short descriptions of situations and how to react to them. It made me less irritable with caring for my relative. This book has many useful suggestions and shows a deep understanding of the challenges of caregiving for someone with dementia. I plan to get another copy to have available for when I meet other people who face the same issues.
A truly remarkable and instructional guide for care givers of people with dementia or alzheimers. Chicago So much of what was going on in my mother's life at this stage, began to make sense to me and I was better prepared to help her. Great book. Nuria Fernandez.
And all those strange things that are happening are not out of the ordinary for the condition. You are not alone. This book covers the basics, and provides helpful suggestions for living with, caring for, and coping with dementia and your love one. An extremely helpful book for those who are experiencing dementia and/or Alzheimer's with a loved one.
I plan to buy 2 copies for my library, I will definitely NOT donate mine. This is an excellent book. I can't say enough good things about this book.
It covers subjects which apply to the caring of anyone who is ill and/or elderly, even if it is not dementia. It is full of information not just for anyone dealing with a dementia patient, but for anybody who is caring for another person, (or who may think at some point they will). I wish I'd read it sooner, but better late than never.
Absolutely a great book, it should be in every library. I would recommend this book to anyone, before they are faced with the illness. It is written in a warm and caring manner which is easy to understand.
