Today, there is a disease afflicting many people and arousing fear in those whose ages can start as young as forty years, and moving on through the sixties, seventy and eighty year old groups. It is known as Alzheimers Disease. This book is about sharing this experience with my sister-in-law who came down with this disease in her later years. She was eighty-four at the time and lived to be ninety four years old. I was encouraged to take notes and write about this by a doctor who told me I would be in a position to see its development every day for as long as she remained with me. He said, Take lots of notes. You will be able to observe so much more than I, because I dont spend that much time with a patient, and you will be with her day and night and observe the changes as they happen and what triggers her behavior. Good Luck! With that I started out on my ten year trip through the ups and downs, the good days and bad days of Alzheimers disease. Our days were laced with pain and humor, but I was determined to see it through, laughing a little and crying a lot, hoping the scenery would change, but finally surrendering to this fate that had come upon us. Our mantra became Lets laugh because if we dont we shall most certainly cry! I chose to care for her because I wanted her to be surrounded by love, music and laughter, in a place where we could laugh with her and cry with her and never be alone. Im glad I did.

Caring for a person with dementia is a difficult and often- overwhelming task. In addition to the inevitable decline in memory and physical function, most persons with dementia develop one or more troublesome behavior problems, such as depression, fearfulness, sleep disturbances, paranoia, or physical aggression at some point in their disease. Behavioral challenges in dementia are highly idiosyncratic. No two patients are alike, and interventions that work well with one person are often ineffective with another. Caregivers often become stuck: either unable to figure out how best to help their loved one, or unable to consistently implement positive practices they know would improve their situation. This book offers caregivers a set of practical and flexible tools to enable them become more resilient in the face of difficulty and change. McCurry teaches caregivers how to take advantage of their own creativity and inner resources to develop strategies that will work in their unique situations. She presents her set of five core principles and then brings them to life through vignettes. Anyone who lives, works, or comes in contact with a person who has dementia will benefit from this volume.

The story of becoming a doctor, and being a son. Jerald Winakur is a doctor who cares for, and about, the elderly. Dedicated and compassionate, he's a surrogate son to many. And yet, all his years of service helping patients and their families adjust to the challenges of aging did not prepare him for becoming father to his own father, who had become as needy as any child. In Memory Lessons--a tender and provocative book--Dr. Winakur writes about what it's like to be medical counselor to countless patients, while disclosing his personal heartbreak at watching his 86-year-old father descend into disability and dementia, his mother at his side. In both of these roles--highly skilled professional and loving son--he finds he is hard pressed to alter a course that devastates his dad and tears at his family. But he does what he can. A doctor who does his best to listen carefully to each patient in turn, who attempts to confront every problem with, as he says, "a reasonable fund of knowledge, a modicum of common sense, and a large dose of honesty," Dr. Winakur knows that there is much we can do by loving and listening. We all search for answers; we all want to do the right thing for our parents, but few of us know what that right thing is. Faced with caring for a growing sea of elders, Dr. Winakur reflects on his thirty years in the medical profession to consider the very personal and immediate questions asked by families every day: What are we going to do with Dad? Who will care for him--and how? These are urgent questions, and they're faced head-on in Memory Lessons with unflinching honesty, hope, and, above all, love.

When Michael Folio was in his mid-fifties, he was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Naturally, he and his wife, Cheryl Levin-Folio, couldn't believe the news. But instead of running away from shock and fear of the unknown that accompanies such a diagnosis, the two let it sink in for a day and then created a plan to fight and do everything in their power to preserve, enhance and lengthen Michael's life. The 24-Hour Rule: Living with Alzheimer's is their positive, energetic, life-changing story. The book will help you care for your loved one with Alzheimer's and care for yourself, an equally essential component for managing the disease. Each chapter contains tips, strategies, and Cheryl's insights and personal experiences, all of which will help those afflicted with this devastating disease-and their caregivers-live from one day to the next with as much peace, enjoyment and dignity as possible. "Michael is demonstrating wonderful results compared to many patients at similar ages and stages of the illness. The menu of activities that Cheryl has assembled along with Michael's optimistic attitude have made this possible. Everything Michael and Cheryl are doing with their dedicated approach can help anyone affected with Alzheimer's. Unlike many books that focus on frightening aspects of future decline, The 24-Hour Rule: Living with Alzheimer's contains a wide range of helpful strategies for living every day to the fullest. I look forward to offering this enthusiastic how-to guide as a resource for all of our patients and families at the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute!" -Amanda G. Smith, M.D. - Medical Director USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute - University of South Florida Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute
