What others are saying about “Caring for a Husband with Dementia”:

“Good work. A much needed book.”  – Merrilee, Caregiver

“This small outstanding book is thoughtful, well-written and comprehensive. It contains a wealth of helpful information for caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s. It includes discussions of dealing with one’s feelings as well as an abundance of practical, down-to-earth helpful tips”.
– Marie Marley, PhD (Come Back Early Today)

“I have read this book, and find it to be well written, yet easy to follow, while containing a wealth of information for those wives caring for spouses with dementia. I found especially helpful, the author’s careful descriptions of difficult behaviours encountered in Dementia, how to effectively deal with those behaviours, and how to access resources and assistance.The book’s detailed content reflects the expertise, and experience of the author, and I would therefore highly recommend it, not only to wives of spouses with Dementia, but to all who have an interest in Dementia.”  
– Lynda Greaves, Retired Nurse
