The 36-Hour Day - A helpful book about memory loss in old age October 30, 2008
I bought this book for the first time a number of years ago at the request of my mother, who wanted me to understand what she was dealing with when my stepfather developed Alzheimer's disease. It was so helpful to me at that time that I recently bought another copy to give to friends whose mother appears to be becoming confused.
 The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for Persons with Alzheimer Disease, Related Dementing Illnesses, and Memory Loss October 15, 2008
This book had been recommended to me. I bought the book as a gift for a care giver. The care giver said the book was very informative.
Excellent Resource August 25, 2008
I purchased this book for my mother who is taking care of someone with Alzheimber's Disease. She found it an excellent resource for accomplishing day to day activities such as eating, bathing, using the bathroom and keeping her occupied through the day.
A God-Send August 3, 2008
This books was first published in 1981 and again in 1991 and 1999. When my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 1995, I became aware of this book and purchased copies for my four siblings and my father. It was a God-send to us; as we learned quite a lot about the desease and the day to day caring for her. One thing I learned was no matter how many times she would repeat and repeat and repeat the same story, I would just say "oh, really" and just let her go on and on. Previously, I would say things like "mom, you already TOLD me this a million times." This would upset her and cause her much agitation. Mom has passed on (12/24/2000), but I like to think we helped her go without a lot of angst and agitation. Please read the book. It has many, many fine points. Thank you. m
