Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Most books about caring for someone with Alzheimer's are authored by health or social service experts; few are written by actual care providers with firsthand experience of looking after a memory-impaired person. Retired high school teacher Teitel cared for her husband, who suffered from vascular dementia, until his death. Her book offers the basics about various forms of dementia, including early symptoms and diagnosis, behavioral and emotional changes, and treatment options. Additional chapters discuss financial planning, nursing-home care, and end-of-life issues. Lists of sources and sample forms are included along with short bibliographies at the end of each chapter. Teitel emphasizes the need for caregivers to care for themselves, and she includes a chapter featuring stories from other care providers (presented in a question-and-answer format). Yet she rarely mentions her own caregiving stories the very thing that would have set her book apart from Nancy Mace's The 36-Hour Day (LJ 7/99) or Michael Castleman's There's Still a Person in There: The Complete Guide to Treating and Coping with Alzheimer's Disease (LJ 12/99), both of which are more comprehensive caregiver resources. Not an essential purchase. Karen McNally Bensing, Benjamin Rose Inst. Lib., Cleveland

Synopsis
According to the Alzheimer's Association, one in ten persons over 65 and nearly half of those over 85 have Alzheimer's disease. In a national survey, 19 million Americans said they knew someone who had it. But when the author found herself in the role of caregiver to her ailing husband, she could find no books that answered her practical needs: How do you give a 170-pound man a shower? How do you pick him up when he falls? What support networks are available? When is it time to consider a nursing home and how do you find one? This work covers topics such as managing the expenses of long-term care through Medicaid, estate planning, and preparing for the patient's death and the loss of someone whose daily survival has been at the centre of one's existence. The author includes a helpful list of frequently asked questions, scheduling and memory aids, and websites where readers can find resources.

I wish I'd read this book sooner.

I wish I'd read this book (and given it to my stepmother) sooner. She'd been dealing with my father's dementia for several years on her own before I found this book (just weeks before he died). It is written by someone who's not only been there, but who has a wonderful ability to offer practical advice and emotional support simultaneously via an engaging writing style. Just reading this book can make the caregiver feel that she is not alone and can inspire behavioral change that benefits caregiver and care receiver alike. I highly recommend it.

What a wonderful book!

I can not say enough good things about this book! The author has given so much advice, both practical and emotional.
You can tell this woman was a teacher as the chapters are clearly organized with a synopsis at the end of each and other sources of info. The index is excellent (and very useful).
Best of all, she writes from the heart...she's been there and knows what the journey is like.
