Alzheimer’s disease

Question for Dr. Stall

My mother-in-law is suffering from this disease. We sure would like to have some help with her illness. Our other concern is the toll it’s taking on my father-in-law. He’s not in very good health himself. And he shows signs of depression. Would you send me some information on this disease. Thank You.

Response from Dr. Stall

A good reference book is The 36-Hour Day.   It is a paperback that costs $10-15. You should find it useful.

You should also try to find the closest Alzheimer’s Association for help. They can offer written information and point you in the right direction regarding appropriate help & support.

Their national web site is http://www.alz.org/

My local chapter’s web site is http://www.alz.org/wny/

Hope that helps.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rob Stall
