This edition, released 36 years after the original, continues to provide relevant, practical, and up-to-date advice to those providing care to an individual with memory loss.

Until then, there is The 36-Hour Day." (Jeffrey Cummings, MD, ScD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health)"Having lived the chapter and verse of The 36-Hour Day for twenty years, I know how this book empowers families with constructive and compassionate advice. This new edition offers definitive testament to the slow destructive force of Alzheimer’s disease and how it challenges families caring for loved ones with dementia. It is a must read by all those who serve our aging generation." (Meryl Comer, author of Slow Dancing with a Stranger: Lost and Found in the Age of Alzheimer’s)"Thorough and compassionate, offering accessible information and practical advice, The 36-Hour Day is a necessary resource for families living with dementia. Still the gold standard, this book is the trusted reference that families turn to first―and over and over―for guidance and support in caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease." (Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice)"From its knowing title to its knows-everything contents, The 36-Hour Day "gets" what you're going through. This encyclopedia of dementia care misses no aspect of life affected, from tough behaviors to challenged relationships to medication decisions ― describing each with both the honesty and compassion we caregivers deeply need." (Paula Spencer Scott, author of Surviving Alzheimer's: Practical Tips and Soul-Saving Wisdom for Caregivers) Read more Review "An excellent book for families who are caring for persons with dementia... A book that physicians can confidently recommend to the families of their patients." (Journal of the American Medical Association)"Excellent guidance and clear information of a kind that the family needs...

(Library Journal)"Continues to be the 'bible' of recommendation for any caregiver whose family member suffers from dementia." (Bookwatch)"Recommended to all caregivers and families of persons with dementia as an indispensable source of valuable information on a very wide range of topics."
