Great written support December 15, 2008
I have been taking care of my mother for 3 months now and I remembered seeing a copy of this book in my doctor's office. I am so glad I ordered it. When I get frustrated with my mom or completely disgusted with my sister I read pages of this and realize that I am not alone. No one but another care giver could even begin to understand just how hard this job is and this book has given me support when I have no one to talk to!

Comforting information for caregivers September 30, 2008
This book has many useful suggestions and shows a deep understanding of the challenges of caregiving for someone with dementia. 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. I plan to get another copy to have available for when I meet other people who face the same issues.

The 36-hour day September 2, 2008
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!br /br /Nuria Fernandezbr /Chicago

Very Helpful. August 31, 2008
An extremely helpful book for those who are experiencing dementia and/or Alzheimer's with a loved one. You are not alone! And all those strange things that are happening are not out of the ordinary for the condition. This book covers the basics, and provides helpful suggestions for living with, caring for, and coping with dementia and your love one.
