Aging industry professionals, don’t miss this great Alzheimer’s Disease Handbook for your clients. As an aging industry professional myself, I typically consider everything through the lenses of advising families and sharing with my peers. This time it is more personal. A very close family member is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. As a result, I have been looking for resources to help her primary caregiver.
I found one! The Alzheimer’s Disease Caregiver’s Handbook: What to Remember When They Forget by Dr. Sally Willard Burbank and Sue Pace Bell. It has so much great content.
First of all, the collaboration between a physician and a caregiver provides unique, balanced perspective and information.
This Alzheimer’s Disease Handbook is easy to read, with very practical information. Reference what you need, when you need it, based on how the chapters are organized.
Included is a section on self care. Given the stress of caring for a spouse with dementia, this is essential. Statistics continue to show how caregivers are at risking of dying before their loved one, especially if their loved one is a spouse.
