"Journalist, Lauren Kessler, chooses to work as a "resident's assistant" at an Ahlzheimer's facility as a way of trying to make peace with and understand more about her what her mother (who died a number of years ago) experienced in the last years of her life. The author seamlessly weaves her first person experiences with medical research as she chronicles her day to day interactions with the residents. Her compassion is evident and she is honest, yet hopeful, about those who live with the disease. I loved discovering that while a frustrating process, there is much that patients enjoy in the moment, even if the moment cannot be remembered later. This book was recommended to me by someone who heard that my dad was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers. I am even more committed to loving my dad "as is" during this challenging time in his life."
"Loved this book. Borrowed from Bette. Reminded me of experiences with my family members; Dad when he was in assisted living and eventually full nursing care after his stroke. Also reminded me of Uncle Walt when he thought he was at a convention instead of realizing that he was in a "memory care" facility.
Written with truth and sensitivity. I'd love to read more of Lauren Kessler's books."
"My grandmother, who has Alzheimer's, has recently come to live with my parents. I've been doing a lot of reading about the disease lately, and this is far and away the best book I've come across. The author does an excellent job of explaining the disease, summarizing research on Alzheimer's, and describing how it affects people who have it. I think my favorite part of the book was actually her perspective--she manages to describe the reality of Alzheimer's without sugarcoating it and still maintain an overall tone of positivity. So many Alzheimer's books I've read have been terribly depressing. It was very refreshing to read a book that took an alternate view of the disease and chose to focus on the idea that people with Alzheimer's deserve to be treated as just that--people!"
"You can't help but see the Alzheimer's residents as individuals, each with their own personality and story, instead of stereotypically lumping them all together. This book also made me truly appreciate the staff that takes care of my mother at her Alzheimer's nursing home. It's a must read for anyone with Alzheimer's in their family."
