Beschreibung:
Patricia R. Callone, MA, MRE, is the Vice President of Institutional Relations for Creighton University. For six years she served on the Board of Directors of the Alzheimer's Association Midlands Chapter. She has experience with Alzheimer's as both an educator and as a caregiver.
Of the estimated 5 million Americans who have Alzheimer's disease, more than 7 in 10 live at home, primarily cared for by family and friends. "Alzheimer's Disease: A Handbook for Caregivers, Family, and Friends" features a workbook-type format aimed at increasing the caregiver's knowledge of the disease. As a result, these caregivers -- whether family members, friends or health professionals -- will be better equipped to nurture the dignity within people living with Alzheimer's and feel more confident doing so. The book is a tool for caregivers that will impact not only the way they relate to persons with Alzheimer's disease, but other relationships as well.
