How I wished for some help! This book will help to fill a void in the literature of Alzheimer’s caring. Judy Wunsch, Former Caregiver and Director of Volunteers Alzheimer’s Association, Los Angeles, San Bernardino Counties "Taking care of persons with Alzheimer’s disease can be very challenging. The emphasis of good communication is vitally important as demonstrated in this book. Ms. Kohler has taken the complexity of caring for Alzheimer’s patients and broken it down to simple, flexible strategies to improve the care of these individuals. It certainly will improve their lives as well as the lives of their caretakers." Roger M. Lee, M.D. Santa Monica/UCLA Medical Center"Effective communication between a loved one with dementia and his or her spouse, adult child or relative, clearly reduces the burden of care and extends the quality of life for both the person and those in his or her circle of support. This book offers ways to facilitate communication with positive solutions, creative ideas, and sensible strategies that we all must learn to build a healthy foundation of care." Alison A. Moore, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Medicine David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Division of Geriatric Medicine
