I have written this book for the benefit of caregivers, personal and professional, full-time and occasional who would like to find a way to communicate more effectively with people who have Alzheimer's Disease. If you can understand what makes a person tick, why he does the things he does, you can often find ways to reach him. Two keys to this understanding are knowing who he was before the disease, and being able to go where he is now. This book offers practical skills for anyone who encounters folks with Alzheimer's -- police, clergy, nursing home staff, families, etc.
