Surviving Alzheimer’s: Practical Tips and Soul-Saving Wisdom for Caregivers - by Paula Spencer Scott (2014)

​by Julie Fleming

Surviving Alzheimer’s: Practical  Tips and Soul-Saving Wisdom for Caregivers  appealed to me largely because I found it at a time when I wasn’t sure I would survive my father’s illness. It offers bite-sized tips and stories with support and instruction, making it easy to read in short bits of time. I also appreciated the emphasis on addressing stress and increasing quality of life for both the person with Alzheimer’s and those caring for him. The book teaches a problem-solving framework that will support you throughout your caregiving.
