Publisher's Summary

Nearly five million families deal with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia on a daily basis. They do this with little training, and often, only their good intentions guide them. When Reasoning No Longer Works is the training manual these family caregivers have been searching for. Authored by a gerontologist with more than 20 years of experience, this audiobook gives the listener an easy-to-understand view of what dementia does to the brain, how it is diagnosed, and most importantly, how to deal with its effects.

The book clearly explains:

  • How to avoid a catastrophic reaction
  • What are some specific approaches for aggressive behavior
  • How to deal with disruptive behaviors
  • What are ways to diminish wandering
  • What to do when a wanderer is missing
  • When to look for outside help

You'll also follow the story of Lou and Rose, a couple who share their lives with Alzheimer's disease. Together, they find the answers to questions caregivers and victims are sometimes afraid to ask.

A fantastic resource for a personal caregiver or a professional when dealing with dementia.

I am so happy that somebody has written such an amazing book that details real life scenarios that families have to face when their loved ones are diagnosed with dementia.

If you are new to caregiving, you are going to want to read or listen to this book, it gives you a lot to think about, but ensures that you understand the many dimensions of providing care to a person with dementia.

This is absolutely a work of brilliance.
