If you ever though you were alone in the world of caregiving -- especially if one of your parents is suffering from symptoms of dementia -- you're guaranteed to find a few chuckles here that let you know that someone else has traveled the road you're on -- and has fallen into may of the same potholes.

A riveting, often humorous, non-fiction novel that chronicles televison executive Jacqueline Marcell's trials and tribulations, and eventual success at managing the care of her aging parents. Also an extensive self-help guide with valuable resources and solutions for effective management, medically and behaviorally, of challenging elders who resist care.

Includes an addendum by renowned dementia specialist, Rodman Shankle, MS MD: A Physician’s Guide to Treating Dementia. Valuable for everyone from the family to the physician. Required reading at four universities for geriatric assessment and management.

The mission of the book is to "spread the word about the importance of early diagnosis to the 77 million baby boomers who are so often in denial about eldercare until they are in a crisis." With the proper treatment, dementia symptoms might be masked and slowed down by 2-5 years, keeping a person in Stage One longer, which is intermittent and mild. Seeking help early can save families a lot of heartache and money, and save our society the burden of caring for so many elders who decline sooner than need be.

Elder Rage is also an extensive self-help book with answers to difficult "how to" questions like: getting obstinate elders to give up driving, accept a caregiver, see a different doctor, go to day care, move to a new residence--and includes a wealth of valuable resources, websites and recommended reading.
