"Ten years after the publication of the widely acclaimed first edition, the authors have completed a very successful revision of The 36 Hour Day that makes this classic text even better. The reader who is familiar with the first edition will recognize the strengths that continue in the revised edition -- numerous case examples, practical advice, thoroughness of coverage, and communication of caring and humane attitudes while presenting information that may be sensitive and upsetting to families." -- Clinical Gerontologist, "An excellent book for families who are caring for persons with dementia... A book that physicians can confidently recommend to the families of their patients." -- Journal of the American Medical Association, "The new edition continues to fulfill the goals of the earlier version. It also provides an overview of medical, legal and psychosocial developments in the field of dementia... The 36-Hour Day has served its readers well. The revised edition should be even more useful both to family caregivers and professional health care providers." -- HMO Practice, "An excellent, practical manual for families and professionals involved in the care of persons with progressive illnesses... The book is specific and thought-provoking, and it will be helpful to anyone even remotely involved with an 'impaired' person... Highly recommended, especially for public and nursing libraries." -- Library Journal, "Excellent guidance and clear information of a kind that the family needs... The authors offer the realistic advice that sometimes it is better to concede the patient's frailties than to try to do something about them, and that a compassionate sense of humor often helps." -- New York Times

36 Hour Day
My aunt is in terminal stages of colon cancer, and had started getting to the point of forgetting to pay bills, take her pills, etc. In thinking she may have had a slight stroke, her oncologist set up test and referred her to a physcotherapist for other testing. It all turned out to be 'frontal lobe demntia', beginnings of Dementia/Altzheimers disease. There was additional testing being done and I had already taken over the tasks she had, paying bills, getting someone in to help more with her daily needs, and eventually moving her in with another relative, and getting care sent to that home during the day. Her doctor then set up Hospice to help in these last stages of cancer. They deal with the cancer though, and not the dementia. On a 2nd follow up with the physcotherapist, she recommended this book. I read some reviews on it, and proceeded to get it from Ebay. While it is years old, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of newer, added information editions, this book is wonderful. It deals with all stages of a family member's deteriation, and how to help during the progression. I'm lending it to others in family dealing with this as well. I do wish I had known about it earlier, and maybe had a chance for my aunt to read it before she went down hill even more, but on the other hand, she is probably not the kind that could handle that. I would recommend this book to anyone dealing with or anticipating this disease in their family. It can be scary, but is certainly an eye opener. In our case, it looks like the Altzheimers is going to get her before the cancer finishes her off, and I think that is worse.Read full review

36 Hour Day
our doctor recommended this book when my elderly parents started showing signs of dementia. my son, who is their caretaker, read it immediately. he found it to be of great help in teaching him ways to discuss things with my parents. it gave ideas how to deal with situations and how to understand the reason they respond the way they do. i also found it a great help in how i now would have to communicate with my parents because their thinking has changed. i would highly recommend this book to others who are facing similar problems or just want to understand this growing need in our nation.

The 36-Hour Day
I purchased this book because my mother has dementia and the book was recommended by a social worker for me to read. It is very informative about this terrible disease. I can only read a chapter at a time as it is very upsetting to me to realize the path my mother will tread. However I am hoping it will help me deal with my mother's rages and also help me deal with her frustration. I would definitely recommend this book to others who have family members with this disease. I sincerely hope a cure is found.

Caregiving
This is a must-read for anyone caring for a person with Alzheimer's Disease, a task which can quickly become overwhelming as you watch someone you love slip away by inches. I bought this to give to a dear friend in her 60's whose husband has been diagnosed with early Alzheimers and is on medication but already has significant problems with memory and behavior. I would recommend it without question to anyone in a caregiving role, especially caring for someone else with Alzheimer's but also for anyone who is giving care on a long-term basis to another person, particularly a family member.
