"This book has seemingly all the information that you need to be a successful caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer's.
It is written in a very direct style. It addresses very specific solutions to the problems that occur as the various stages
of the disease progress. I took care of my mother before I read this book and I could have used the advice here. I would not
have had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. The book acknowledges, but does not dwell on the emotional difficulties a caregiver
faces, but since it offers concrete solutions to all kinds of problems, using it as a reference can make the care giving experience
that much easier. Keep this one on the shelf, you'll refer to it often." T.T. (North Carolina)
"Magnificent work! It is bound to be helpful to anyone who has a family member or close friend with dementia. There is
a multitude of practical points. Anyone will be struck by your compassion and dedication to your wife. It is also good that
you admit how trying the whole process is."
M.P. (Florida)
"It's really a great job with a lot of valuable information and tips."
M.S. (Virginia)
"This is the first book on this subject that isn't clinical. I felt as if you were speaking directly to me. If I ever
get this dread disease, I hope I am treated that way [Care with dignity in the first Chapter]."
H.O. (Virginia)
"It has a lot of useful information and wonderful perspective in dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer's. I can already
see application and things we can do better for my mother-in-law who lives with us. Thank you."
B.B. (Maryland)
"Great book! Although I am already doing some of those things, I still learned a lot." (an experienced caregiver)
J.D. (Virginia)
"Just finished your wonderful book. It is very inspiring, but at the same time so full of practical knowledge about
home care. I ran a support group for families who were struggling with whether or not to 'home care' versus a nursing home.
Wish I had such a wonderful guide like yours. We have a large support group which meets at our church. This is a perfect handbook
for them."
A.R. (Georgia)
"I was greatly impressed. It should be very, very helpful to those in need of it."
N.K. (Virginia)
"I gave your information to a lady who is teaching a caregivers class at the community college. I suggested your book
to her as a textbook."
P.L. (Virginia)
"A friend of mine sent me your book as a gift. Such a wonderful gift too! I found your book to be most compelling!! I
would like to order 2 copies of the book signed by you so that I can donate them to my local Alzheimer's Chapter office and
share with other families. Thank you so much for taking the time to document and share your experiences. I found Chapter 1
to be very poignant. It is survival for both of us. And most definitely, there are times I feel isolated and hopeless. Yet,
as your words express, I too have found meditation and prayer help me in getting through the challenges. With the experiences
you have shared, it will make my journey less lonely and the challenges ahead feel more like opportunities. Again, Thank You!"
P.K. (North Carolina)
"My mother's companion was so thankful for your book that he called me directly upon reading the first chapter to thank
me for obtaining it for him. He took care of her right to the end, all by himself, and used your book for some pointers on
how to accomplish that."
K.K. (Virginia)
"The person I bought your book for has told me that it has been terribly helpful. You have done a tremendous service
for others to follow in your path."
J.D. (Maryland)
"Very interesting and informative. It is a significant work." D.W. (Washington, DC)
"How touched I was by your book. It conveys love and caring while at the same time being pragmatic about the challenges
and frustrations of Alzheimer's to both family and patient. The book paints a human picture." R.W. (New Hampshire)
"Thank you for sending those two books right away. I'm really impressed and just blown away with the amount of information
in the books. I've thought of someone else I want to send one to as a gift, so I'll be ordering another." S.S. (Virginia)
"How helpful! I was especially interested in day care."
P.O. (Virginia)
"Your book is so on target and written in such an easy format to read. This is the best book that I have read on the
subject. I will spread the word on your incredible book. Thank you for writing the info."
R.M. (Virginia)
