As the Director of Social Work at a Retirement and Skilled Nursing Facility, this is one of the books that I loan out to families. I have had nothing but positive feedback from the families who have borrowed the book, and they have invariably told me that they found it easy to read, highly informative, and very helpful for them overall.In fact, I am visiting Amazon.com right now to order 2 more copies of the book at the residents' family members' request! -- Victoria T.Carey, MSW, LICSW

What a great book to help you through the tough times! 23 Mar 2006
By J. R. Lopez - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
My mother died of Alzheimer's in January of 2006. This book hepled my father, myself (the only child)and my wife through the whole process. It is realistic and tells one what to expect and how to handle each stage of this terminal illness. I highly recommend this book to the caretaker and his/her family to help them understand and deal with the realities of Alzheimer's.

Alzheimers - A Caregivers Guide 2 Aug 2008
By Maria Simply Put - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Having practiced as a psychotherapist for over 15 years, this is the book I have referred over and over to help family members of those with Alzheimers. It's a wonderful book. Easy to read. Full of practical tools and tremendously supportive for the caregiver. Worth every cent.
