A Pocket Guide for the Alzheimer's Caregiver - Paperback

by Ellen Woodward Potts (Author), Daniel C. Potts M. D. (Author)

"The book is the place to turn for initial information and perspective on Alzheimer's disease, and to return for practical advice as problems arise. Most importantly, however, it dispels the sense of hopelessness families may feel by providing steps to maximize the enjoyment of life for the person with Alzheimer's disease." --- Robert C. Griggs, MD, FAAN; 2009 - 2011 President, American Academy of Neurology
