This Ice Cream is Delicious: A Guide for Alzheimer's

Make the most of the time you have together. This is the message of "This Ice Cream is Delicious," a new comprehensive guide for those faced with caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's. Authored by professional companion/caregiver and Let's Go, L.L.C. founder Henry Watts, "This Ice Cream is Delicious" is a practical yet lighthearted guide that serves to demystify the medical, social, and emotional maze brought on by the diagnoses of Alzheimer's and dementia. Based on his personal experiences, Watts guides readers through the Alzheimer's journey, using his own anecdotes plus interviews with medical and care-giving professionals to highlight the trials and triumphs facing families. Watts writes from experience: his mother battled the disease for seven years. In the wake of her death, Watts created Let's Go, an Atlanta-based company that supports family caregivers. Since 2008, he has served as a professional companion/caregiver exclusively to AD patients, and a support to those struggling to cope with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's in a loved one. "This Ice Cream is Delicious" compiles Watts's experience and wisdom in a quick, easy-to-read format. Here you will find guidance on nutrition, planning for the future, practical tips on handling day-to-day challenges for you and your loved one, and finally, how best to select an assisted living facility. Along with a gentle reminder that... time is precious.
