Summary:
"Through five editions, The
36-Hour
Day
has been the "bible" for families
who
love and care for
people
with
Alzheimer
disease
. This book offers much-needed information and support to millions of
people
throughout the world. Whether a person has
Alzheimer
disease
, vascular dementia, or another form of dementia, he or she will struggle with independent living and most likely face medical, behavioral, mood, and legal and financial problems. This essential resource will help
family
members and caregivers address all of these challenges and simultaneously cope with their own emotions and needs. Thoroughly revised and updated, this sixth edition features easy-to-see take-away messages about every aspect of caregiving. Informed by new research into the causes of dementia and the search for therapies to prevent or cure dementia, this edition also includes new and expanded information on • what we know about how to prevent dementia and the diseases that cause dementia; • new high-tech and low-tech devices to make life simpler and safer for
people
who
have dementia; • behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms; • strategies for delaying symptoms in a person
who
has dementia; • changes in Medicare and other health care insurance laws; • changes in banking practices with regard to competency; • palliative care, hospice care, durable power of attorney, and guardianship; • Continuing Care at Home programs; • Parkinson's
related
dementia; • dementia due to traumatic brain injury • choosing and moving a person to residential care; and • 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. Still very much the book readers turn to, this fresh edition of The
36-Hour
Day
is the definitive
guide
for those
who
continue to love someone even after he or she has been changed by dementia."--From publisher.
