"An excellent book for families who are caring for persons with dementia... A book that physicians can confidently recommend to the families of their patients." -- Journal of the American Medical Association

"An excellent, practical manual for families and professionals involved in the care of persons with progressive illnesses...

Jean Keller, EdD, Activities, Adaptation and Aging
"An admirably realistic guide to caring for people with Alzheimer's." -- Michael Greenberg, New York Review of Books
