Whenever individuals or their families are faced with a medical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, geriatric dementia, or massive brain damage from a stroke, they are confronted with daunting questions - how to provide for care when the patient can no longer manage his or her own affairs, what to do to protect their rights and property, where to go for help, and how to cope with the day-to-day challenges of fading memory and diminished cognition. For the first time, Nevada patients and their caregivers have a comprehensive guide that addresses these problems from the specific perspective of Nevada resources and Nevada law. Here, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are described in clear laymen's terms, with advice on finding the right physician and on dealing with a diagnosis. Here, too, is information about the legal and financial steps that patients and their families can take to protect themselves and their assets, pay for the costs of long-term care, provide advance directives for health care, and arrange for guardianship. Finally, there is advice to help survivors tend to all the details that must be addressed following the death of a loved one. The authors also offer practical suggestions for helping someone afflicted with one of the geriatric dementias, dealing with such matters as eating, personal hygiene, medication management, emotional changes, and communication. There is also information about locating support groups, nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, and other resources in each section of the state, as well as examples of pertinent legal forms consistent with Nevada law. For Nevadans embarking on this difficult journey, and for the family members, professional caregivers, and health-care workers who help them, "Alzheimer's and Dementia: A Practical and Legal Guide for Nevada Caregivers" offers a wealth of vital information, helpful advice, and comforting commonsense insights that will help to alleviate fear and worry, as well as providing essential assistance on the formidable journey ahead.
