"The subject of physical and mental deterioration and its
consequences on people and their loved ones is one that most of us
prefer to avoid, even those of us who provide medical care to the
elderly. Yet, this is often part of the human experience.
Information written on the subject is usually dry and didactic.
Kathy Stewart has granted the reader access to her world, the
assisted living community, where extraordinary needs are met by
extraordinary people. Through interesting, illustrative, and
poignant vignettes, a realistic, often intense and yet hopeful
experience is accorded the reader. This book, crafted
professionally and compassionately, is a gem that should be read
not only by relatives of people suffering progressive memory loss
but by all of us, since many of us will eventually be touched by
this situation in our lifetimes."
-Mark H. Greenberg, MD, FACR, Rheumatologist, Author of "Doctor,
Why Do I Hurt So Much?"
"Few events impact an entire family more than the onset of
dementia in a parent, spouse, sibling, or close friend. Drawing
upon her own personal and professional experiences, Kathy Stewart
has developed a practical guide for caregivers. The book is easy to
read, yet it provides a wealth of useful information which is
accessible to all. It should provide knowledge and comfort for
anyone caring for an individual with dementia."
-George A. Kuchel, M.D., FRCPC, Professor, Citicorp Chair in
Geriatrics & Gerontology, Director, UConn Center on Aging,
University of Connecticut Health Center
"Kathy Stewart has provided an outstanding, informative, and
useful guide. This book is required reading for all adult children
and caregivers who seek to provide the best possible care for Mom
and Dad. I wish I had this book when my own mother developed
stroke-related dementia and needed extensive specialized
care."
-Elly Trepman, M.D., Professional Associate, Department of Medical
Microbiology, University of Manitoba, www.manuscriptsurgeon.com
