When the Doctor Says, Alzheimer's: Your Caregiver's Guide to Alzheimer's & Dementia - Revised Edition
ISBN: 9781481720434 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It doesn't happen overnight, it sneaks in over years-decades; denial, blame and conflicts arise, few know what to do. What caused it? Will I get it? He keeps falling. He's violent Why isn't there a cure? The doctor doesn't understand. What's an MRI, MMSE?...

The Selfish Pig's Guide To Caring: How to cope with the emotional and practical aspects of caring for someone
ISBN: 9780749929862 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Six million people in the UK, often unnoticed by the rest of us, provide unpaid care for disabled or elderly relatives, friends or neighbours. Their job is long, lonely and hard, yet there is limited support and no formal training. As a result, carers suffer frequent damage to physical and mental health. Oddly, though carers by definition are anything but selfish pigs, they are liable to feelings of guilt, probably brought on by fatigue and isolation. So Hugh Marriott has written this book for them - and also for the rest of us who don't know what being a carer is all about. His aim is...
