It also provides information about new drugs approved since 1999 and the federal government’s decision to cover counseling and other health-related services through Medicare. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent caregivers' guideThis was written by a professional (clinical social worker), but can be easily understood by laypeople. It gives stages of Alzheimer's--what one can look for in the early, middle and later stages. And is also helpful about how to seek help. Rating:  - OK--but not so great for older onset alzheimersMy mother is nearly 90. She's just beginning to develop Alzheimer's. This book would be good for those whose loved ones develop Alzheimer's at an earlier age, but I didn't find it very helpful. Rating:  - 36 HoursHave not finidhed thid publication but have covered approz 125 pages. The info conveyed is excellent and has caused me to modify my approach to my wifs's condition. Unfortunately she has several other probems that complicate the situation. Rgardless this bookis vey helpful so far and I expect the balance to be the same. Rating: - Excellent ResourceMany books have been written about Alzheimer's disease. However this book gives the reader an easy to understand yet thorough explanation of what a family or caregiver should do when someone (s)he loves or works for has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Susan Berg is the author of Adorable Photographs of Our Baby: Meaningful, Mind Stimulating Activities and More for the Memory Challenged, Their Loved Ones, and Involved Professionals. Rating: - Alzheimers Early StagesA really informative book that points you in the right direction as far as finances, estate planning etc. I would recommend this book to family members who are caring for someone with this condition.
