This course is an effort to put together helpful information, in a concise and easy-to-read format, for families and caregivers of persons with memory loss from Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
The vast majority of the contents have been kept from the original, providing you with a comprehensive collection; only small pieces have been updated as new research and innovations constantly happen.
A very special thanks to Cynthia Phon, Director of the House of Welcome Adult Day Services in Northfield, Illinois, for allowing us to use this manual for our caregivers.
