Title: Daughter or "Gerontologist?"
Review: I have lived through the same nightmare as Jacqueline Marcell and I can tell you- no "gerontologist" can take care of your parents better than you can-or knows more about them than you do. Yes- "professionals" can help; can offer sugggestions, but when it comes to making decisions -it's solely a family affair. I saw no "inappropriate medicating" of parents in this book- medication is a lifesaver for both the dementia patient and the caregiver. The goal is for ALL of us (families) to survive this disease, as long as possible and with as few life-threatening catastrophes as possible. I found the book funny, brutally honest and REAL. This is REAL life- it represents our REAL parents and Jacqueline's story is REALLY the way things happen when we find ourselves facing dementia in our own families. It's a "must-read" for all caregivers, physicians, nurses and other caretakers.
Is the review positive or negative?
