LEARNING TO SPEAK ALZHEIMER’S
by Joanne Koenig Coste
This book taught me to understand the way my mother processes the world under the influence of Alzheimer’s. I learned from Ms. Coste how best to care for Mom practically and emotionally, always keeping in mind the constraints of the disease. This book changed my life and inspired me with its thoughtfulness and insight.
