Full Description

The ceasing of a member's ability to reason, function and respond is a family tragedy. With major increases in dementia predicted for the coming decade, a book like Dementia and Alzheimer's is needed more than ever to cut through clutter. It explains governmental and private entities' benefit programs for dementia patients, and how government and insurers do and should respond, while integrating sophisticated medical tactics with vital family cooperative responses to their loved one's mental health crisis.
