Alzheimer'S Early Stages by Daniel Kuhn
Where do you turn if someone you love has just been diagnosed with or shows signs of having Alzheimer's? According to author Daniel Kuhn, the early stages of Alzheimer's are a difficult time for relatives and friends because they may not know much about the disease or how they can help. This highly practical book fills the information gaps. It is divided into three parts: Part 1 - What is Alzheimer's Disease? - focuses on the medical aspects of the disease; Part 2 - Giving Care - centres around how to plan immediately for long-term needs; and Part 3 - Caring for Yourself - offers advice for relatives and friends on how to stay healthy and positive when caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's.
