Highly Recommended

Upon learning of my husband's condition, a friend who lived through the same circumstances gave me an old copy of this book. After the same book was recommended by another friend I wanted a new, updated copy, in large print. Amazon was my savior. I ordered a copy for me and one for each of my husband's 3 grown children. The way the book is laid out, it is very easy to skip around and read pertinent sections of concern at the moment. It seems to be quite thorough in covering all aspects concerning the person with dimentia as well as the multitude of emotions the family as caregivers are faced with. My prayer is that you never need this; however, should you find yourself in this position, I join many in highly recommending this book.

Alzheimer's families

After checking this book out of the library I realized there was so much valuable information that I needed my own copy from Amazon. The material in this book is invaluable to the caregivers, family members and even the patient themselves, preparing for the general progression of dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease and offering an abundance of guidelines and suggestions for handling nearly every imaginable situation. Be sure to buy the 4th edition if you decide you too need this wealth of information.

Important for Caregivers, in my humble opinion.

This book was recommended to me because of my caring for an elderly parent. Wish i had had it sooner!

Better late than not at all

For caregivers this is one superb book!
I find myself wishing that I had read it two years ago at a time when I could have applied its many generously documented explanations and suggestions to best effect. It would have made life much easier for me as a caregiver and for my wife -- a patient afflicted with dementia associated with Alzheimers and Parkinsons Disease.

I wanted an idea of what we were heading into...

I purchased this text to find out a little something about what we were heading into when noticing the slow deterioration of family member's memory. It has provided me with so much, I'm a little less apprehensive about what's to come. As well as having an idea of where to look of more information. I'm very pleased the text was provided in Large print so I can read it with or without my glasses. Access to the information is key.
