In addition to the practical and compassionate guidance that have made The 36-Hour Day invaluable to caregivers, the fourth edition is the only edition currently available that includes new information on medical research and the delivery of care. The new edition includes: -new information on diagnostic evaluation-resources for families and adult children who care for people with dementia-updated legal and financial information-the latest information on nursing homes and other communal living arrangements-new information on research, medications, and the biological causes and effects of dementia Also available in a large print edition Praise for The 36-Hour Day: Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 36-Hour Day - Very helpful and enlighteningI appreciate what the authors put together in this book - it has a ton of useful info and has helped me in understanding (and thus adding alittle patience) to what is happening with several senior members of my family. Not all the info is relevant to my needs, but that's the point, not everyone has the same issues to deal with. Thanks! Rating:  - Lightweight...Very superficial and general information. I've read a lot on this subject since my mom's diagnosis a couple of months ago and I'm frankly puzzled as to why this book is recommended so frequently. The Alzheimer Assn's website provides more thorough information. It's extremely well written and easy to understand. And free. [...] Rating: - 36 Hour DayThis is a must read by all! Whether you have a family member with Dementia or you are curious about this topic. Rating: - dementiaAn excellent book for learning. Some I knew and some I became aware of for the first time. I bought two more books for my children. Rating: - A MUST HAVEThis is known as the caregiver's "bible" for a good reason. If you have a loved-one with any kind of dementia, you really should pick up this book...it's timeless and so helpful.
