“THE 36-HOUR DAY,” BY NANCY L. MACE AND PETER V. RABINS.

A month or so ago, I finished reading the “MAYO CLINIC ON ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND OTHER DEMENTIAS.” I found the book to be exceptionally informative and helpful in understanding Alzheimer’s disease and Dementias. I also thought it a relatively easy read.

My cousin, Helen, recommended that I read, “The 36-hour Day,” which she read while taking care of a relative suffering from Dementia.

After recently losing two friends to Dementia, and unintentionally giving another close friend the wrong information about Dementia, I had no problem following up on my cousin’s recommendation. Whereas the first book was great, Ms. Mace and Mr. Rabins, “The 36-hour Day,” published by The John Hopkins Press was even better. Not only did it cover everything the first book covered but it went into further, easy to understand details and also covered the research that is currently taking place.

Alzheimer Disease and Dementias are diseases that not only drastically affect the patient, but the whole family unit, friends, and very often neighbors. It is no wonder why this book is considered the ‘gold standard,” where families affected by these diseases turn to for guidance and support in caring for someone suffering from these diseases.

Thank you Helen for your great recommendation.
