The 36-hour day
A truly remarkable and instructional guide for care givers of people with dementia or alzheimers. 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 Chicago

A "MUST READ" for Alzheimer's families
I am sorry if you need this book because your loved one has Alzheimer's Disease or a related dementia but this book will be a valuable resource from the early stages through end of life care. I was given a copy at an Alzheimer's Association meeting and read it cover to cover and was so glad I did. Best of luck to you and know you are not alone.
