An indispensable resource offering encouragement and instruction to those affected by Alzheimer’s Disease.
For many families, Alzheimer’s means a gradually diminishing quality of life both for the sufferer and caregivers. All too often, the disease has led to isolation—and even a certain social stigma. It can impose psychological and emotional burdens just as heavy as the physical one.
The Family Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease was created to help families understand what to expect; deal effectively with the challenge of this disease; help their loved ones meet each day more successfully; and enhance the quality of life for all involved.

"I have purchased over ten DVDs/VHS tapes to use for staff training. The response from professionals and direct care staff has been most favorable. A nurse commented that it was the best video on Alzheimer's Disease that she has viewed. Again I want to thank you for producing such quality and informative training tapes."
