Description: "People with Alzheimer's disease usually live at home, cared for by family members-who, like the patient may be feeling uncertain and scared.  But authoritative information can help ease the fears and concerns.  This program is a step-by-step Alzheimer's primer for caregivers and patients alike, divided into the following sections: First Signs, Diagnosis, Middle Stages, Getting Organized, Coping, Day to Day, Last Stages, and Hope for the Future, a segment highlighting the newest genetic research.  A combination of case studies and medical insights, this documentary is a vital tool in coming to terms with Alzheimer's."--Container.
