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.

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.

There is not another book available that has been so well received by both professionals and loved ones of Alzheimer's. It educates and guides us all through this very difficult process. The key is to only read the chapter that is appropriate for your situation at that specific time. I'd suggest not reading ahead because everyone is different and their journey will be different.

This is a wonderful, well written, informative book about the Alzheimer disease. It helps greatly in recognizing and dealing with the symptoms of the disease. I recommend it for anyone dealing with a friend or relative with Alzheimer's.
