Book Reviews of The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, and Memory Loss in Later Life, 4th Edition

Book Review: Helpful starting point
Summary: 5 Stars

I work for a neurologist and we recommend this book for our patients and their family members. It has an easy to read format, excellent referrence and resource guide and supportive information. It gives a thorough overview of the different causes of memory loss and how each may manifest and progress in the life of your loved one. It provides this information in a comapssionate yet down to brass tacks manner that will encourage the care giver. It is an excellent resource if you are starting this journey with someone.
