With over 4 million copies sold, the best-selling guide to understanding and caring for people with dementia is now redesigned, revised, and updated!

For 40 years, The 36-Hour Day has been the leading work on the care of people with dementia and their family members. Written by experts with decades of experience caring for individuals with memory loss, Alzheimer disease, and other dementias, the book's authoritative and compassionate approach to care features discussions of the causes of dementia and the management of its symptoms from the early stages to late-stage disease.

This edition highlights the significant advances in diagnostic testing, treatment, and research that have occurred in recent years. Offering useful takeaway messages and informed by the latest practices in dementia care, this new edition has been thoroughly updated. It features

- updated information on prevention, new diagnostic methods and criteria, and advances in medication therapy;
- essential insights on everything from home care aides to useful apps to promising preventive techniques and therapies; and
- practical advice for avoiding caregiver burnout--plus tips for when and how to get additional help.

Like earlier editions, the eighth edition focuses on improving the lives of those with dementia and memory loss as well as those who love and care for them. The definitive guide to dementia care, The 36-Hour Day offers readers compassionate guidance and a ready resource for every step of the journey.
