If you are currently caring for someone with Alzheimer's disease or another kind of dementia, or if you are thinking about doing so, this book is for you. It is meant to serve as your unique road map for an adventure you have never had before. Even if you have experience looking after others in other ways, such as via child rearing, teaching, managing staff, or other duties, taking on the role of an Alzheimer's caregiver will provide you with challenges you never thought possible. Caregiving for someone with Alzheimer's disease provides demands and possibilities of an altogether different order than anything else you have ever faced, so if you have never been responsible for someone else, you will discover that. Before you realize it, you too will have undergone a permanent shift as a result of having been a caregiver to someone with this condition. Its symptoms will alter continuously and gradually before your own eyes. In ways that will be described throughout the book, you could even experience a shift for the better.
