Care Giving for Alzheimer’s Disease (2015) (PDF) by Benner Carson, Verna, Vanderhorst, Katherine, Koenig, Harold

Description

Veteran clinicians offer a unique framework for understanding the psychological origins of behaviors typical of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, and for providing appropriate care for patients as they decline. Guidelines are rooted in the theory of retrogenesis in dementia–that those with the condition regress in stages toward infancy–as well as knowledge of associated brain damage. The objective is to meet patients where they are developmentally to best be able to address the tasks of their daily lives, from eating and toileting to preventing falls and wandering. This accessible information gives readers a platform for creating strategies that are respectful, sensitive, and tailored to individual needs, thus avoiding problems that result when care is ineffective or counterproductive.

User’s Reviews

The primary goal is to share information about expected changes in functioning and behavior of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, strategies and tools to effectively manage those changes … . For caregivers and providers, this is an easy-to-reference guide with practical suggestions that are both straightforward to implement and likely to yield immediate results. This book is also recommended to physicians or other healthcare providers who have regular interaction with caregivers to help answer questions and provide suggestions about caregiving.” (Christopher J. Graver, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2015
