Here is the description from Amazon.com

Caring for a loved one at home. What s really involved? And what does it mean for your family and future? Tens of millions of Americans have had these questions and more as they prepare for this unsettling yet necessary task. The Family Caregiver s Guide fills in the gaps, connecting the dots between research and real life. Drawing on the author s extensive caregiving experience, this book provides strategies to care for your loved one,
inside and out, as well as for yourself including how to use your natural skills in your new role, and which skills you may need to add. You ll discover how to set up your home for caregiving, including a safety checklist, equipment suggestions, and words you should know. And for those days that are more than a handful, you ll find positive affirmations, a section on facing and accepting illness, and smart steps at the end of each chapter, in case you need guidance in a hurry. Caregiving has both rewards and challenges. But through it all, you ll discover what s most important that caregiving is love in action.

Here is my review-
This book is a very thorough guide for any Caregiver that is dealing with a family member that has Alzheimers.  It not only helps you to take care of someone else but also encourages you to take care of yourself in the process.  I highly recommend this book for not only caregivers but medical personnel as well.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book and to give my honest review.
