Baroness Blatch CBE
"The style of standing in the shoes of a potential sufferer, the families of sufferers and those in the community with an interest in posing all the questions that bug and worry people will I'm sure prove a most practical guide to Alzheimer's."

Professor Tom Arie CBE, MA, BM, FRCPsych, FFPHM, RASA Age Care
"Alzheimer's at your fingertips needed to be written, and could scarcely have been better done...nothing is too technical to have daunted the authors, all is simplified without distortion, and where there is uncertainty it is not hidden but an honest judgement is offered."

Claire Rayner, The Mail on Sunday
"This book is for the superb loving carers of those suffering from Alzheimer's, and for anyone who wants to help them. Written in a question and answer format, it is the most practical guide you can imagine. It deals with every aspect of the condition, from its symptoms to its effects on daily life, ranging from legal and financial implications to coping with sexual needs and loneliness. It cannot be recommended too highly to those who need it - and to those who don't but could benefit from knowledge of the disease."

Customer Reviews

Excellent introductory book about Alzheimer's.
This is a practical guide that offers clear, helpful answers to your questions about Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. It deals with every aspect of the condition, from symptoms to its effects on every day life in a clear, no-nonsense way. I would recommend this both carers of people with dementia to health and social care professionals encountering dementia for the first time
