Great Guide for anyone taking care of a terminally ill patient at home
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My Mother has terminal Cancer and my Father is taking care of her at home. This book has been been a great guide and reference for her care. My Mother does not have Alzheimers but my Father and our family are encountering all the care issues that a family must address when caring for a terminally ill family member at home.

Magnificent work! It is bound to be helpful to anyone who has a family member or close friend with dementia. There is a multitude of practical points. Anyone will be struck by the author’s compassion and dedication to his wife. It is also good that the author admits how the process is so trying.

Care and Dignity
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This book touched my heart! Though I don’t have a loved one with AD, I can only imagine the intense strain it put on the author. Only with a love as strong as his for his wife, could he last the 17 years they both lived with the disease. I have purchased several copies and have shared a copy with a day-care facility here in St. Louis. They are developing a library and have added this book to it. Bravo Frank Fuerst, June would be VERY proud.

Very specific help for the caregivers
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This book has seemingly all the information that you need to be a successful caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. It is written in a very direct style. It addresses very specific solutions to the problems that occur as the various stages of the disease progress. I took care of my mother before I read this book and I could have used the advice here. I would not have had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. The book acknowledges, but does not dwell on the emotional difficulties a caregiver faces, but since it offers concrete solutions to all kinds of problems, using it as a reference can make the care giving experience that much easier. Keep this one on the shelf, you’ll refer to it often.

Wonderful perspective in caring for a loved one
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It has a lot of useful information and wonderful perspective in dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer’s. I can already see application and things we can do better for my mother-in-law who lives with us. I just hope we can have half the compassion and patience that Frank shows in his book!
