This series is an excellent resource full of compassionate, helpful information, that covers the whole Alzheimers disease process.
It is very professionally produced, but is very sensitive in how the information is shared. This series has been very helpful, not only to my Dad as a primary caretaker of my Mom, but also to us as the children & family of an Alzheimers patient.
This series shares not only "facts" about this disease, but uses actual caretakers who share with the viewers tips and ideas that make taking care of your loved one less difficult, and more rewarding.
We highly recommend this resource to anyone looking for help in coping with this disease!

The presentation was excellent. I had read many books and articles, seen videos, before but this was the best! It was very smart to have the caregivers give their experiences, failures, successes for us to see. I recommend it to everyone!

I found the videos to be informative and helpful. Others who watched the video wanted to show the video to their children. There were some great questions after seeing the video. It helped poeple to connect and not only understand what Alzheirmer's is but what is involved with care giving. A fabulous video

This set of CD's is empowering to caretakers in that it provides the critical information needed to anticipate and care for someone with Alzheimers. While it is difficult to learn about the progression of this devastating disease, knowing what to expect helps one to plan and therein provide the loving care that is so critical to their family member.

I am using this as a teaching guide for CNAs at my facility and we love it. Very well done and easy to understand. B.Sharp, Va.

I have used this series with an Alzheimer's support group and I have found it contains excellent information and a great basis for our group discussions.

Leeza Gibbons has compiled an extremely important help to families encountering Alzheimer's through these five volumes and their guide books! They show realistic interviews of individuals and their loved one as the Alzheimer's progresses. Through their honest sharing, coping skills and experiences they bring encouragement to the viewer that help is available to learn how to care for their loved one and to prevent some of the trauma that this illness brings. There are also solid guidelines offered from professionals that help to deal with the progression of this devastating illness.

This is an outstanding DVD set about Alzheimer's, and was sent in perfect condition.
