Customer Reviews

Should be read by all caregivers!

This book has guided me through my certification in gerontology, my mother and aunt's days in assisted living, their days in skilled nursing, my mother's days in hospice in my home, and my master's degree in social work. Now I am a gerontological social worker and use it with my clients. Few of my clients have an Alzheimer's diagnosis, but the book applies to all who need "gentlecare." I have loaned my copy countless times and, thankfully, have received it back each time. The book is too valuable and informative to keep on my bookshelf and dust periodically! What a super resources!

Informative and enlightening

I have attended several Gentlecare seminars and also have this book. Moyra Jones does a fantastic job of explaining the disease and offers ways of improving care and quality of life of people with Alzheimers. I work in a dementia unit which follows Gentlecare recommendations/guidelines and have greatly increased quality of life, dignity and independence for our residents.This book is a "must buy" for anyone who works with/cares for Alzheimers/dementia patients.

Moyra Jones shares the details a caregiver searches for.

From basic, to technical...All you desparately need to know to help guide your loved one and yourself through the maze of Alzhiemer's. Educate yourself a step further than any other book has dared to go. You cannot spare your loved one the grief of losing themselves...but you can guide them through it.
