Review Quote

"Bringing together three theories of dementia connection, Dr. Stelter creates a unique care model for persons with dementia."?Andrea Nelson, RN, MSN, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center "A great, easy-to-read book. By providing practical anecdotes, Dr. Stelter makes what can be very academic theories available to the layperson. I absolutely love the idea of laying the content out as a workbook, allowing families to apply the exercises to real-life situations."?Rachelle L. Blough, CTRS, CDP, CADDCT, memory care consultant
