About this listen

When a loved one shows signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, you will face challenges for which you feel ill-prepared. Dozens of decisions will need to be made: •Can Mom safely live by herself safely? If not, what if she refuses to leave her home? •When do I need to take away the car keys and checkbook? •Should I correct her when she insists her dead sister is still alive? •How do I handle her repetitive questions and accusations? •How do I keep her entertained? •How do I handle her angry outbursts, refusal to take a bath, and inappropriate comments? •Should I quit taking her out altogether to avoid embarrassment? The Caregiver’s Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease: What to Remember When They Forget provides a comprehensive look at Alzheimer’s disease and tackles all these thorny questions with the best advice of an experienced doctor and a seasoned caregiver. Part I reviews what Alzheimer’s disease is, how it is diagnosed, and its expected progression. Part II offers practical advice to the caregiver for facing the obstacles that commonly occur at each stage of the disease. Part III provides suggestions on self-care to prevent caregiver burn-out. Part IV offers promising Alzheimer’s research and the best advice from a top memory care center called Abe’s Garden. The book ends with three humorous true stories about Alzheimer’s patients. Dr. Sally Willard Burbank is an internist with thirty years of experience with Alzheimer’s patient and their stressed-out caregivers. Sue Pace Bell is a seasoned caregiver who nursed her mother and husband—both Alzheimer’s patients—until their deaths.
