Alzheimer's Disease: The Dignity Within: a Handbook for Caregivers, Family, and Friends: Easyread Large Edition

The Dignity Within A Handbook for Caregivers, Family, and Friends Of the estimated 5 million Americans who have Alzheimers disease, more than 70% live at home, with family and friends. Alzheimers Disease: A Handbook for Caregivers, Family, and Friends is a unique resource for those caregivers so that they can be better equipped to nurture people living with Alzheimers disease. This expert guide educates the reader on the physical changes in the brain as the disease progresses and outlines what can be done from a caregivers standpoint at each stage. It stresses the importance of selfcare in ensuring that you are prepared to support the person with Alzheimers disease. Packed with tips and techniques from five authorities in the field, this book answers critical questions such as: What caregiving style will suit me best? What skills are likely to remain as Alzheimers disease progresses? How do I balance my needs with the needs of the person Im caring for? How do I find the time to rest and relax? When is it time to consider an assisted living community or a nursing home? And much more! The most important tenet of this book is that we can better care for people with Alzheimers disease by recognizing the essence within a person living through the different stages of the disease. This positive approach will help both caregivers and people affected by Alzheimers disease live with a sense of dignity, importance, and selfesteem.
