Continues to be the 'bible' of recommendation for any caregiver whose family member suffers from dementia.

Chicago Sun-Times

The best guide of its kind.

Chicago Tribune

Both a guide and a legend.

Journal of the American Medical Association

An excellent book for families who are caring for persons with dementia... A book that physicians can confidently recommend to the families of their patients.

Large Print Reviews

In short, the fourth edition... is a comprehensive resource guide that will help you learn to care for family members.

— Auggie Moore

Midwest Book Review

The 36-Hour Day continues to be the 'bible' of recommendation for any caregiver whose family member suffers from dementia.

New York Review of Books

An admirably realistic guide to caring for people with Alzheimer's.

— Michael Greenberg

New York Times

Excellent guidance and clear information of a kind that the family needs... The authors offer the realistic advice that sometimes it is better to concede the patient's frailties than to try to do something about them, and that a compassionate sense of humor often helps.

    This is a wonderful resource for a very difficult situation. It has helped me to better understand my mother's situation. I am thankful that a friend shared it with me after it was recommended by her relative's doctor.

    Highly helpful to caregivers and family of brain impaired patients

    I am a caregiver to a loved one with AD and this book has provided valuable information in a clear and concise way. You may skip the parts
    that do not concern your specific situation and review the ones that directly address your specific questions. It is also a reference source that is very helpful when questions arise as the disease progresses.
    It should be read by family members so they better understand how this terrible disease affects the impaired brain of the patient and the well being of the caregiver.

    I Couldn't Agree More

    As a person that witnessed first hand what happens when someone you love is stricken with Alzheimer's, this book hit the nail on the head in addressing how much we take for granted when it comes to our memories and thought. This book is remarkable. I'd recommend that you also buy "When God Stopped Keeping Score." It is an intimate look at the power of God and forgiveness and one that everyone deserves to read. Buy it and find out why for yourself.

    Highly recommend

    This book has been, and continues to be of great help and comfort to me as I go through this process of being my husband's caregiver. It helps me to understand what he is going through and although it still hurts when he becomes angry and curses and calls me names, I am able to realize that it is not HIM, but the disease that is controlling his actions.

    Almost every page hits the mark in some way and looking to the future helps me to know what to expect.

    Most helpful and very well done.

    Wonderful Book

    My mom heard about this book and picked up a copy. It is a great book for those caring for an elderly person. It has taught my mom new techniques and well as helping her understand how my grandma feels inside. We highly recommend this to all families dealing with these diseases. Thank you for such a great book.

    "The 36-Hour Day"

    This book was a wonderful resource! I am an Nurse Educator for nursing assistants. We focus on care for the elderly with dementia and Alzheimer's. My mother had me pick her up a copy as well. I shared excerpts with my students and have added She could have used this when she was taking care of Grandma. However, she has it now for her husband.

    The book was informative and supportive. It is not a book to sit and read in one sitting. I often kept in a private area so I could read small bites at time and then process that information.

    I recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing the loss that comes with dementia or Alzheimer's. It will not change the final outcome for your loved-one, but it might help you to help them go through this tragic loss with more dignity and peace. It will also help you to understand that this is not the person you know, they cannot help their behavior. It will also help you to know that this is not the person you once knew and they cannot help what they do or do not do!
