Reseñas de la Crítica

"Patricia Boswell writes as if she is your warm and wise close friend, one who is a remarkably experienced nurse and caregiver. The book is full of practical knowledge and solutions for the many challenges of caregiving. I especially admire that Boswell starts with and frequently returns to the theme of self-care for the caregiver—this is the key to sustainable and loving care. Bravo for a book that will improve the lives of many caregivers and their loved ones!"—Tia Powell, MD, Dr. Shoshanah Trachtenberg Frackman Chair in Bioethics; Director, Montefiore Einstein Center for Bioethics; Professor of Epidemiology and Psychiatry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine; author of Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End

Caregiving with Love and Joy provides critical lessons and pertinent information that every family can utilize to better understand Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and then create better, more meaningful daily interactions with those who are suffering."—Goldie Byrd, PhD, Executive Director, Center for Outreach in Alzheimer’s, Aging, and Community Health

"From a public health perspective, few diseases are as devastating as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Yet I have seen firsthand that having the right daily care can make all the difference in the long-term success of each patient.
