Customer Review: One of the most trying aspects for anyone caring for a person with Alzheimer's and dementia involves the breakdown of communication.

Customer Review: I work on a team that develops special geriatric healthcare programs and I bought this book to help me with my new job. This book has already been extremely helpful in my work.

All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend this book to anyone working with older adults.

Customer Review: I ordered this book for a college class at the last minute because my school bookstore was sold out.
The product was recieved promptly and in perfect condition.
Would definately recommend this book for anyone in the field of geriatrics, even if not specifically in the nursing. The book offers information on aging and ways to interact with the elderly that is invaluable information.
