Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementia: The Caregiver’s Complete Survival Guide

If you’re caring for an elder with dementia, it helps to have an experienced social worker and geriatric care manager like my friend Nataly Rubinstein to help you through the daily challenges.  If you can’t have Nataly by your side 24/7, her guide,  Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias: The Caregiver's Complete Survival Guide, is the next best thing.

Caring for her mother, who had dementia, inspired Nataly to write this book.  “If I had better guidance – like what is in this book,” she writes, “my life, her life and my family’s life would have been better and easier.” 

Based on her experience with thousands of clients in South Florida, as well as years of caring for her own parents, Nataly’s 360 page guide is a comprehensive look at what it takes to be a caregiver.  Using real life examples, she walks you through everything from getting a diagnosis to dealing with unwanted behavior.  Along with daily challenges like eating, dressing and toileting, she covers finances, long distance caregiving and hiring professional caregivers.

Her careful attention to the needs of people with dementia and their caregivers makes this guide a valuable resource for you’ll turn to again and again.
