Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a vivid story of life with Alzheimersor at least, one story of one family with an unusual sense of humor. Told in an unconventional style (through the alphabet rather than chronologically), Leslie F. Hergert describes the sadness, humor, and challenges of caring for a partner with Alzheimers Disease through its many stages. Each letter of the alphabet provides reflections on some facet of the Alzheimers experience, told with honesty and a wry eye. Leslie spoke at our conference on Dementia and attendees said that her stories were the most powerful part of a very good conference. Her book extends that speech to provide an inside view of living with Alzheimers, a comfort for others living with the disease and an education for outsiders. Nancy Willbanks, Somerville Cambridge Elder Services Ms. Hergert writes candidly and poignantly about her experience caring for her husband with early onset Alzheimers Disease. She touches upon the major cognitive, psychological, and functional changes that occur over the course of the disease, and she provides practical tips to caregivers on how to manage them. She also writes movingly about the multiple emotions she felt as she accompanied her husband on the journey, reminding all of us that there are moments of joy and laughter even among those of loss and grief. I have no doubt that readers will find her words of wisdom helpful. Serena Chao, MD, MSc; Geriatrics Division Chief, Cambridge Health Alliance; Instructor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

Book excerpt: Memory game for Dementia and Alzhiemer's patients The Alphabet listing game is a simple, memory recall based activity book for Dementia and Alzhiemer patients. It is developed specifically for those suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers, or other senior citizens who may be showing signs of memory loss. Importantly, the book does not specifically imply that the user is suffering from dementia, which is often a trigger cause for many Dementia Suffers. Rather, it contains general information for carers, but also information for those who do not require assistance. This game is designed for one reason, to help improve the memory recall of seniors (while entertaining them)! How does it work? The rules are very simple! All the user has to do is try to name one word beginning with each letter, for your chosen category. For Example, if you were to choose the category 'Boys Names', the list may look like this: A: Alan B: Benjamin C: Charles D: ......... Although extremely simple, activities such as this have been shown to help slow memory loss. It is also a great source of entertainment, which can be played individually or as a group in seniors' homes etc. The book uses large, easy to read font and an extremely easy to understand layout, tailored specifically for seniors with dementia. Down the bottom of each page, you also have the option to count your score (how many you get out of 26) as well as time how quickly you can finish each game. These are both optional, but are great for cares and family members tracking the progress of their patients. For carers, it may be easier to work with your patient, and help by writing down the answers and giving hints to encourage answers. Again, play this game how it suits your situation! It is also recommended that you make a 'routine' out of this game for your patients, e.g. play one game per day, as consistency is key to memory recall! You may also like to repeat categories over time, so that you can track progress in both scores and time taken. It is amazing the patterns that you may find. Book Features: 8.5 x 11 inch - Large, spacious pages List of categories 96 category pages (Play the game 96 times!) Printed on white paper for maximum clarity Soft Cover Perfect bound

Book excerpt: A familiar stranger. That is who my mom became as dementia slowly took hold of her. She was someone I knew and loved but not the same person she had been. A profound sadness hit me when I realized that my daughters may one day have to deal with me in this same condition and I wanted them to know that who I become if this happens is not really who I am. The things I will say and do will be coming from someone who has gradually become a stranger to them. Everything about our life together will change when I have nowhere to go and all day to get there, forgetting that they still have commitments, appointments and things to do. We will experience a sense of time travel as my memories from the past become jumbled up in the happenings of each new day. The change in my language could bring about surprising and sometimes disturbing conversations as the filters from the past wane and they see me in my uncut glory. This is a love letter of instruction to my daughters while I am able to express myself fully with prompts for you to do the same for your children or to chronicle meaningful times in the lives of your parents before the chance is lost forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christine Bryden was 46 years old when she was diagnosed with dementia, and in this book she describes her remarkable emotional, physical and spiritual journey in the three years immediately following. Offering rare first-hand insights into how it feels to gradually lose the ability to undertake tasks most people take for granted, it is made all the more remarkable by Christine's positivity and strength, and deep sense, drawn in part from her Christian faith, that life continues to have purpose and meaning. Originally published in Australia in 1998, the book is brought up-to-date with a new Foreword, Preface and Appendix, in which Christine explains how the disease has progressed over the years, and how she is today. It also contains many previously unseen photographs of Christine and her family, from around the time of her diagnosis up to the present day. Inspirational and informative in equal measure, Who will I be when I die? will be of interest to other people with dementia and their families, as well as to dementia care professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years after his wife, Jane, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Robert McAllister began a journal, closely documenting the course of Jane's illness, and all that transpired between them. He wrote faithfully for Jane's sake and for his own, always committed to deepening his understanding of the disease and to talking openly with Jane about what was happening. He promised not only to be her sole caretaker till the end, but always to be at her side to help her sort out Alzheimer's devastating consequences from the "essential Jane" who was the love of his life and complete companion for over fifty years. Robert was 92 at the time of Jane's death and the completion of his journal. His graceful writing, emotional honesty, and ability to convey the transformative power of their love and their abiding faith in God makes this book stand as one of the most powerful additions to the Alzheimer's literature.

This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the output of a fundamental study that investigates human memory from a comprehensive perspective. The author’s interest in discovering the structure and function of complex systems and providing simple and inexpensive solutions to the challenges facing humans led him to focus his research on human memory. As a result, his research has created a new insight into the structure and function of memory in humans called Meshk theory. The word Meshk in Kurdish means brain. Kurdish is the only living language in the world that has extensively preserved its ancient Sumerian roots over thousands of years. The book breaks down the complicated scientific and biological concepts associated with human memory into a more understandable way. It also describes in detail the theory of Meshk and the technique developed based on its concepts for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The structure discovered for human memory in the theory called Human Memory Strand (HMS), as a super-DNA structure with extraordinary regenerative ability, is a turning point in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer’s. In this way, based on HMS, a simple, cost-free, and practical method called Meshk technique has been developed to restore memory information. The technique can be used effectively for all people to prevent Alzheimer’s disease as well as to retrieve memory for people at any stage of the disease. The Meshk theory has been nominated for several international awards, including the Think Tank Awards 2021 and the AAIC 2022 Blas Frangione Early Career Achievement Award.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alison Wray notes that “Alzheimer’s Disease affects language in many different ways. Directly, language processing is undermined by damage to the language areas of the brain. Indirectly, language is compromised by short term memory loss, distortions in perception, and disturbed semantic representation . . . All of this makes AD an obvious focus of interest for linguists and in particular, those interested in the field of pragmatics – yet a striking amount of what is published about AD language is written by non-linguists. AD language is independently researched in at least psychology, neuroscience, sociology, clinical linguistics and nursing. Each discipline has its own methods, theories, assumptions and values, which affect the research questions asked, the empirical approach taken in answering them, and how the evidence is interpreted. Without a more reliable holistic picture informed by linguistic and applied linguistic theory and methods, approaches to diagnosis and care risk being constrained, and may result in a less than satisfactory experience for all those whose daily life involves the direct or indirect experience of AD.” This book is an attempt to address some of the above issues noted by bringing together a group of researchers whose work focuses on interaction in the context of dementia. The authors represent the fields of linguistics, clinical linguistics, nursing, and speech pathology, and each chapter draws on methods associated with discourse analysis and pragmatics to examine how people with dementia utilize language in the presence of cognitive decline. In addition, the book seeks to generate academic discussion on how researchers can move forward to focus greater attention on this topic. In particular, this collection will inspire researchers involved in mainstream theoretical linguistics and pragmatics to turn their attention to the discourse of dementia and investigate what it has to say about our knowledge of language theories, and, in addition, to challenge what we know about ourselves as subjective beings.

Book excerpt: While Alzheimer's might be associated with a difficulty to express oneself, Ana Paula Barbosa-Fohrmann addresses this topic by examining experiences with Alzheimer's based on narratives. In this original contribution, she studies the nexus of life stories, subjectivity, fragmentation, and fiction. The philosophical basis of this research is phenomenology from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, specifically that of Husserl and above all that of Merleau-Ponty. This work also draws on Proust's and Camus' literature as well as Beckett's dramaturgy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CLEAR Dementia Care© model is an effective method of assessing behaviour that challenges, through an understanding that such behaviour may be a way of communicating unmet needs. This book explains the many factors that contribute to challenging behaviour and how a greater understanding of this can enhance quality of life and lead to better care for the person with dementia in both hospital and residential settings. Discussing how people with dementia have the same needs as everyone else, the book helps to understand dementia from the perspective of the person experiencing it. It features case studies with examples of how to interpret signs of distress and develop an appropriate intervention plan. The model includes person-centred assessment of cognition, life story and personality, emotional and physical wellbeing, activity and environment, and relationships. Also included are easy-to-use photocopiable assessment tools, proven to facilitate a more accurate understanding of behaviour.
