Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide, with approximately half of the costs attributed to informal caregivers, so preparing financially is essential. Maureen Bradley, one of A Place for Mom’s most seasoned senior care experts, recommends “The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People Who Have Alzheimer Disease and Other Dementias, and Memory Loss” by Nancy L. Mace, MA, and Dr. Peter V. Rabins, MPH.“‘The 36-Hour Day’ is an oldie but a goodie and is considered a must-read for families of folks living with dementia,” says Bradley, who’s currently pursuing her doctoral thesis on non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive decline in older adults. Here at Golden Heart Senior Care, we pride ourselves on having caregivers who are trained on how to work with clients with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
