The popular, 128-page guide for relatives and friends caring for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease has been updated once again. The Rush Manual for Caregivers , now in its fourth edition, includes 30 chapters on understanding dementia, treatment options, communication, research, intimacy, difficult behaviors, safety, personal care, legal issues, community resources and much more. Written by the RADC staff, this book is intended primarily for family caregivers, but professionals who work in a variety of healthcare settings may also find it useful.
Plans are to publish the entire manual on the RADC Web site in the coming weeks.
In this way, it will be easily accessible for viewing, printing and downloading at no cost.
