Review of Home Safety Checklist Guide and Caregiver Resources for Medication Safety, Driving, and WanderingAs children of the baby boomer generation, my friends and I are increasingly finding ourselves dealing with Alzheimer’s parents and their multitude of issues. The beauty of this book is that it simply breaks down many of the things you will need into checklists. Personally, while I seem to be able to quickly make lists when starting something new, I occasionally don’t consider details that may seem trivial at the time but turn out to be extremely important later. This book takes care of that problem and prepares you for future situations you may not have yet encountered. There are no stones unturned in this straightforward guide for Alzheimer’s care givers. Excellent real-world guidance. (hulaskirt)
