Oferte Speciale An unintended journey: a caregiver's guide to dementia

According to the 2009 census, more than five million people living in the United States have Alzheimer's disease or some other form of dementia.

Not reported in these statistics are the fifteen million family caregivers who, in total, contribute seventeen billion hours of unpaid care each year.

This book addresses the needs and challenges faced by adult children and other family members who are scrambling to make sense of what is happening to themselves and the loved ones in their care.

The author, an experienced medical and science writer known for her ability to clearly explain complex and emotionally sensitive topics, is also a former family caregiver herself.
