Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An excellent book for families who are caring for persons with dementia... A book that physicians can confidently recommend to the families of their patients."

(Journal of the American Medical Association)

"Excellent guidance and clear information of a kind that the family needs... The authors offer the realistic advice that sometimes it is better to concede the patient's frailties than to try to do something about them, and that a compassionate sense of humor often helps."

(New York Times)

"Both a guide and a legend."

(Chicago Tribune)

"An admirably realistic guide to caring for people with Alzheimer's."

(New York Review of Books)

"The best guide of its kind."

(Chicago Sun-Times)

"An excellent, practical manual for families and professionals involved in the care of persons with progressive illnesses... The book is specific and thought-provoking, and it will be helpful to anyone even remotely involved with an 'impaired' person... Highly recommended, especially for public and nursing libraries."

(Library Journal)

"Continues to be the 'bible' of recommendation for any caregiver whose family member suffers from dementia."

(Bookwatch)

"Recommended to all caregivers and families of persons with dementia as an indispensable source of valuable information on a very wide range of topics."

(Case Management Journals)

"An excellent guide with general information for family caregivers of persons with dementia... The text is person focused and describes the complexity and depth of the care required not only for persons with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia but also for caregivers."

(Activities, Adaptation and Aging)

Reseña del editor:

Through five editions, The 36-Hour Day has been an essential resource for families who love and care for people with Alzheimer disease. Whether a person has Alzheimer disease or another form of dementia, he or she will face a host of problems. The 36-Hour Day will help family members and caregivers address these challenges and simultaneously cope with their own emotions and needs.

Featuring useful takeaway messages and informed by recent research into the causes of and the search for therapies to prevent or cure dementia, this edition includes new information on

· devices to make life simpler and safer for people who have dementia
· strategies for delaying behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms
· changes in Medicare and other health care insurance laws
· palliative care, hospice care, durable power of attorney, and guardianship
· dementia due to traumatic brain injury
· choosing a residential care facility
· support groups for caregivers, friends, and family members

The central idea underlying the book―that much can be done to improve the lives of people with dementia and of those caring for them―remains the same. The 36-Hour Day is the definitive dementia care guide.
