As a registered nurse, I found Dede Bonner’s book “The Ten Best Questions for Living with Alzheimer’s” to be both medically correct and socially comprehensive. The ramifications for the caregiver were thoroughly explored, and the social context is clearly laid out. I gave this book to my best friend to read when I found out she had a parent with Alzheimer’s. I recommend this book without reservation for anyone in this situation.
