“This book provides an evidence-based approach to all facets of dementia care, from diagnosis to end of life. … a grand addition to any gerontology education program for those wanting a deeper understanding of dementia, its treatment, and care throughout the progression of the disease. It also may help families of those with dementia to understand what it is and what to expect. … written in an easy-to-read fashion that provides insights into diagnosis, treatment, cause, and care.” (Melody L.
