Everything you might want to know!! 
Absolutely the definitive book for anyone dealing with dementia, alzheimers, etc. Great to give to all family members. Very thorough and easy reading.

Great resource!
My mother has been diagnosed with dementia, probably Alzheimer's, and I have been seeking information to help me understand and deal with her deteriorating mental capabilities. This book provided great examples of what to expect, what others have gone through, and how to deal with some of the more difficult issues. It was recommended to me by a geriatric case manager, and I highly recommend it to others.

36-Hour Day - Very helpful and enlightening 
I appreciate what the authors put together in this book - it has a ton of useful info and has helped me in understanding (and thus adding alittle patience) to what is happening with several senior members of my family.
Not all the info is relevant to my needs, but that's the point, not everyone has the same issues to deal with.
Thanks!

Lightweight... 
Very superficial and general information. I've read a lot on this subject since my mom's diagnosis a couple of months ago and I'm frankly puzzled as to why this book is recommended so frequently.
The Alzheimer Assn's website provides more thorough information. It's extremely well written and easy to understand. And free.
