Book overview

Nicole J. Smith was blindsided by her mother's post-pandemic mental decline. A year later, after a neurological exam and follow-up, her mother was officially diagnosed: she had Alzheimer's. As the denial and drama escalated, Nicole and her Aunt Nancy created a transcontinental plan to find their loved one a safe, secure senior residence. From a daughter's point of view, Nicole tells their story of shock, research, worry, discovery, and ultimate success. She also shares information and tips to help others find their way through one of life's most difficult passages.
