Book Details
Managing Alzheimer’s and Dementia Behaviors
The primary purpose of this booklet is to assist both “Healthcare Professionals” and “Family Caregivers” alike in providing the best care possible to those afflicted with Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia of any kind. No less important, however, is another objective; for the information contained within these pages to be a catalyst in creating a better understanding between professional caregivers and the family members of the patients who they are caring for. Communication between these two factions is paramount. It is our hope that this booklet will be read individually or in groups, discussed openly and, after putting some of the tips now learned into practice, discussed again. Always remember, each patient is unique, but at the same time, the disease can often be manageable with the use of common sense, diligence and, most importantly, with love.
