What we like best about this book:
So many caregivers, baffled by what appears to be unusual behavior, have no idea what to do or how to react – to problems such as the patient’s insistence that nothing is wrong, how to communicate when your loved one can no longer speak, and so much more. This book addresses and offers solutions to many problems common to the disease, but foreign to what anyone could expect, caring for a loved one with a progressive, degenerative neurological condition.
