The Long Wait: The Caregiver's Guide to Survival

by Richard D. Luke

Overview

This book is an absolute must read for anyone who is taking care of a loved one, a friend or a relative who has the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. -Noreen Bumby, D.O. Gero-Psychiatrist Investigator at the Southwest Institute for Clinical Research I highly recommend the reading of this book by those who are facing the challenging days ahead with the dreaded Alzeihmer's disease. -Norma Gonzales, RN Floor Supervisor Premier Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center Palm Springs, CA When my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzeihmer's, little was known about the disease. I wish this book had been around then. Richard Luke has the uncanny ability to describe in layman's terms the critical road ahead and give us the tools and information we need to cope. -Mark E. Anderson
