Riassunto:

When someone in your family suffers from Alzheimer's disease or other related memory loss diseases, both you and your loved one face immense challenges. For over 20 years this book has been the trusted bible for families affected by dementia disorders. This authoritative guie provides all the practical and specific advice you need to make care easier, improve quality of life and lift the whole family's spirits. It features the latest medical research and news on current delivery of care, with new appendices including website and association listings. Comprehensive and compassionate, THE 36-HOUR DAY is the only guide you need to help your family through this difficult time. You'll learn: the basic facts about dementia; how to deal with problems arising in daily care - meals, exercise, personal hygiene and safety; how to cope with an impaired person's false ideas, suspicion, anger and other mood problems; how to get outside help from support groups, friends and agencies and personal and legal issues you must address.
