This book offers a wealth of practical things you can do to stay connected with the Alzheimer’s patient in your life. It offers straightforward suggestions and invaluable do’s and don’ts, with advice on everything from dealing effectively with the inevitable repetition that occurs in conversations with an Alzheimer’s patient to helpful strategies for saying no to unrealistic demands. It also includes thoughtful tips to remind you to take care of your own feelings and suggestions for helping children become comfortable with visiting an Alzheimer’s sufferer.
