Product Description
This definitive resource for those affected by Alzheimer and other dementing illnesses has been expanded. For this third edition, the authors have retained the structure, scope, and purpose of the original while thoroughly updating the chapters to include the latest treatments and care. Revised topics include new statistics and terminology, information on assisted living programs and financing options, a section on hospice care, as well as the most recent findings on nutrition, drugs, and genetics. The appendices have also been updated to include new references, Web sites, and addresses of associations and state offices that provide services for the families and victims of Alzheimer disease.

 This shouldn't be the only book your read... November 29, 2008
I work in this field (dementia - helping families find housing and services) and I think this information does not always reflect what I know is true. For example, they make the whole area on diagnosing confusing and it could be simplified. It's either progressive or non-progressive dementia, and the physical being must be examined first to rule out causes for the symptoms of dementia, before the neurological testing begins. The housing information is truly out of date - people with dementia don't go to the psych. wards except perhaps in a small town that doesn't keep up with the times. There are communities and hospitals that deal with behavior problems - but the hospitals treat them and discharge them to facilities that specialize in dementia care - not pscyh. wards.
I think this is one book that has interesting information but it would be a crime to only read this book. Attend support group meetings at facilities, day care centers, and the Alzheimer's Association and learn from others who are caregivers and from those who are up to date.
 If you have a family member with Alzheimer, you need this book October 30, 2008
If you have a family member with this disease, you need this book. It will make your life better!
The 36-Hour Day - A helpful book about memory loss in old age October 30, 2008
I bought this book for the first time a number of years ago at the request of my mother, who wanted me to understand what she was dealing with when my stepfather developed Alzheimer's disease. It was so helpful to me at that time that I recently bought another copy to give to friends whose mother appears to be becoming confused.
 The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for Persons with Alzheimer Disease, Related Dementing Illnesses, and Memory Loss October 15, 2008
This book had been recommended to me. I bought the book as a gift for a care giver. The care giver said the book was very informative.
Excellent Resource August 25, 2008
I purchased this book for my mother who is taking care of someone with Alzheimber's Disease. She found it an excellent resource for accomplishing day to day activities such as eating, bathing, using the bathroom and keeping her occupied through the day.
