As a primary career for my mother, who has Alzheimer's, I found this book most informative. It shared information to educate me in the disease and other forms of dementia. It gave valuable facts about medications, facts on what to expect in the future and how to find support and respite.

It did this without scaring me to death too, which I'm thankful for, because this road is already stressful enough.

Recommended.
