Summary

First published in 1998. It is likely that as long as dementia has been in existence, caregivers of cognitively-impaired individuals have supported them. Today’s caregivers, however, are different in some ways from their predecessors. Their numbers are greater, the environment for care and competing demands are different, and the role is longer in duration. These pioneering caregivers are the focus of this book. They need help and support. A starting place is to learn as much as possible about them and their role.
