The Alzheimer's Sourcebook for Caregivers: A Practical Guide for Getting Through the Day (Sourcebooks)

"A truly comprehensive guide for caregivers, this book deals with the issue of caring for people with Alzheimer's from practical, emotional and spiritual perspectives. It will teach you how to be a healthy caregiver and companion. It provides factual information about the disease and its symptoms, and practical advice on how to cope with the daily struggles with deteriorating communication, inappropriate or hurtful or dangerous behaviors, and the boredom that affects people with Alzheimer's. It includes chapters on family dynamics and how to care for yourself, as well as a listing of support resources. Perhaps it's greatest gift is the unique perspective it offers on the power of love, and the opportunities for growth and rewarding time for both you and the one you care for."
