MY THOUGHTS

Navigating cognitive decline can be a stressful and uncertain time.
The author is a neurologist who has focused on memory care for the past twenty years of her career.
Also, her personal experience with her mother’s care with Alzheimer’s has given her the experience and insight to write this book.
The book is very informative and offers the insight you may need as you are dealing with this in your own family.
Offering help through questions and examples through all stages of the disease this is very informative and a great reference to have on hand.
