For individuals with Alzheimer's disease, completing these basic daily tasks can be a difficult, frustrating process. For caregivers, knowing when and how to help your loved one complete these activities in a way that supports both their health and their independence is a struggle.

Finally, they offer tips for communicating with your loved one in the early, middle, and late stages of the disease.
Through a combination of checklists and practical advice, this book helps you provide safe, encouraging care for your loved one while coping with the stress that accompanies caregiving.
