Does someone you know--a loved one perhaps, have Alzheimer's?
Are you concerned for a loved one that has increased forgetfulness, behavior changes and/or has wandered off and forgotten where they were or how to get home?
Do you work with Alzheimer's patients and feel you would like to have a better understanding of this disease?
Are you having a difficult time coping with someone with this disease and you just don't know how to handle things or even how the disease will progress?
IF YOU ANSWERED "YES" TO ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.
This is a simple, easy-to-read, guidebook. It is designed to help you care for and better understand a person with Alzheimer's. Many people have not been educated on what to expect or how to properly care for someone with this disease.
As a Registered Nurse, working for hospice, I had the opportunity of managing the care of Alzheimer's/Dementia patients for over nine years, on a daily basis, in many aspects of their disease process. I shared in the lives of their families as I listened, watched, learned and took notes. From those notes, I comprised this guidebook. It includes actual stories told from the families who have dealt with this disease, personal experiences, factual information, and is put together with tips and scenarios.
MY HOPE, AS THE WRITER OF THIS BOOK, IS THAT BY SHARING THIS INFORMATION, PEOPLE WILL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS DISEASE, AND THEY WILL RESPOND TO SITUATIONS WITH COMPASSION, SO THAT THE DIGNITY OF THE PATIENT IS MAINTAINED AND BETTER CARE IS PROVIDED. AT THE SAME TIME, BY HAVING THIS INFORMATION, THEY WILL BE FILLED WITH MORE ENJOYABLE, EASIER DAYS AS SITUATIONS ARISE, VERSUS DAYS WITH TROUBLES, STRESS, SADNESS AND THE LACK OF ADEQUATE CARE.
