The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, and Memory Loss in Later Life, 4th Edition

Very superficial and general information. I've read a lot on this subject since my mom's diagnosis a couple of months ago and I'm frankly puzzled as to why this book is recommended so frequently.

This is a must read by all! Whether you have a family member with Dementia or you are curious about this topic.

An excellent book for learning. Some I knew and some I became aware of for the first time. I bought two more books for my children.

A good friend recommended the book and she knew what she was talking about. As a young baby-boomer, both my parents are showing signs of dementia and I'm relieved and informed by the comments shared in the text. Things are going much easier now that my whole family is better prepared to handle the impact of this disease. I sent a copy to both my sister and brother in Ohio because they too have aging inlaws that may eventually exhibit periods of dementia and may find a sense of comfort from the knowledge.
