"A
Common Sense Guide to Alzheimer's Care Kisses for Elizabeth is
written for both family and professional caregivers of people with
Alzheimer's disease and other dementia’s. It is a practical
resource for anyone experiencing difficulty with significant
behavioral issues but is also helpful to caregivers who simply want
to provide the best possible care.

The author has developed 15 common sense guidelines which address a wide
variety of concerns by helping caregivers to solve problems or even
prevent them. The guidelines also address negative behaviors such as
wandering, combativeness, paranoia and sundowning. The book explains
what dementia is, how it affects people who suffer from it and why
these behaviors occur.

Stephanie D Zeman MSN RN has included over 40 true heartwarming stories about her patients with dementia and ways in which the guidelines were
applied to help resolve their problems and enhance the individuals
quality of life

Since one of the best ways to learn is by example, Stephanie D Zeman MSN RN
has included over 40 true heartwarming stories about her patients
with dementia and ways in which the guidelines were applied to help
resolve their problems and enhance the individuals quality of life."

receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. It is not getting the workforce
trained in time to care for persons living with Alzheimer's whether
at home or in a care center." Ethelle Lord is President
