Useful guide to Alzheimer's

I purchased this book when I recently found out a loved one was diagnoised with Alzheimers. The book gave me a simple yet comprehensive guide to what to expect and how to deal with it. I am very happy I purchased this book it widened my understanding of the disease exponentially.

Ok

Pretty simple and does just state the obvious - not really an out of the box creative book of answers. I pretty much felt like saying "ok well tell me something new" - throughout the entire book.
