    I have not read this, but I will.  I have found Mayo Clinic publications to be consistently factual and readable.  

    Thank you for the referral.

    I don’t know anything about it so I am not recommending it. I was just hoping some others could share information about it.

    I've not read that book either but I trust the Mayo  Clinic. 

    One book I read that gave some insight and tips on handling the alzheimers symptoms (repetitions,  bathroom issues, etc) was The 36 Hour Day. It was especially useful in the earlier stages of the disease.
