This is the bible of dementia care. It literally has everything you need to know about helping demented individuals, and then some. A definite must read for the caregiver, nurse, or anyone on staff at a nursing home, from dietary aide to administrator. Truly amazing book.

I don't need a thousand words to encourage the publisher to print more books. This book provides wonderful information on the problems that arise and some strategies for care of the individual with Alzheimer's. I really wished I hadn't loaned my copy out...ah well perhaps someone is finding what a great resource it is for the caregiver.
