[Ellen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was very helpful in understanding the kinds of things you can expect when a love one has Alzheimer's. It discusses behaviors and how to deal with them. It emphasizes the positive in encouraging you to continue to find ways to relate to your loved one and adapt as the person's disease advances. It also gives a long reference of support groups, medical organizations, charitable organizations and insurance/legal supports to help you with planning the practical and difficult decisions you must make for your loved one. A bit out-of-date.
