Nancy is in the first stage of Alzheimer's disease and has trouble keeping her train of thought, but she can still have fun and communicate with the right approach. Bob takes care of his wife and explains that things can be difficult, but that patience and understanding are the key to a successful 36-hour day with Alzheimer's.
This short clip is an introduction to "Alzheimer's, The 36-Hour Day", a video companion to the best-selling book on Alzheimer's disease titled "The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Caring for People with Alzheimer Disease, Other Dementias, and Memory Loss in Later Life" co-authored by Dr. Peter Rabins.
What a great man Bob to care so graciously for your wife! I am touched by your gentle firmness.

I had the honor of taking care of Nancy at her home for 10 months. I went every day,and we had fun. She was a delight! I miss her, and I go to see her at a assisted living facility when work permits. She loves to sing Broadway hits and dance. She has 3 wonderful daughters and 8 grandchildren and of course devoted Mr. Bob.
