Product Description
This definitive resource for those affected by Alzheimer and other dementing illnesses has been expanded. For this third edition, the authors have retained the structure, scope, and purpose of the original while thoroughly updating the chapters to include the latest treatments and care. Revised topics include new statistics and terminology, information on assisted living programs and financing options, a section on hospice care, as well as the most recent findings on nutrition, drugs, and genetics. The appendices have also been updated to include new references, Web sites, and addresses of associations and state offices that provide services for the families and victims of Alzheimer disease.
