A MUST-read for everyone dealing with Alzheimer's
36-hour Day is absolutely required reading if your friends or family members are having severe memory problems. It took me months to finish it the first time because the content was depressing. I read the most pertinent chapters first, then others when I was ready to absorb the information. I've since heard or read the book twice more, absorbing more as my mother's disease advanced and as I wasn't as shell shocked by our situation. I recommend it to everyone - everyone. And I've given away numerous copies. Read it, then reread it.

good info
Really good information for people dealing with dementia in a loved one. The male reader is not great though, many words are slurred and his cadence is off. The female reader is great, but she only reads snippets.

Required reading for families of dementia patients
I just wish I had discovered this book when my dad was first diagnosed. We are now at the stage where a nursing home is urgent, but we could have been much better prepared if we had this information 5 years ago. The many issues covered, and with such sensitivity, are a huge help, even at this late stage of my dad's illness. I listened to it all the way through and will be returning to many chapters in the near future. Thank you for a valuable book!

This book could have been better
Unfortunately the people or Doctors they chose to narrate this book were horrible. I felt like they were talking to a five year old. The book is full of great information. I suggest buy book and read it yourself

Vital necessity for caregivers
Essential information to understanding and caring for people with Dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Once you understand what's going on in their heads, you'll be more at ease and in a better frame of mind to help them.

Information is empowering and a worthwhile read
Information is empowering.
This is a worthwhile read for everyone, whether you have a family member, friend, medical professional or just interested.
As a Family Physician with a family member with progressing dementia, I found this book, informative, kind, gentle and blatantly honest. Presented with kindness, in words and phrases that are easy to understand but non-condescending or patronizing, the kindness and honesty are refreshing, practical and helpful.
Don't despair with how you feel or how your life is affected by this devastating illness that progresses, because you are not alone the support and understanding from the resources and information is encouraging and supportive.
A work of true skill to present this information in a way we can all accept, embrace and feel supported to advocate for ourselves and our loved one

Why can I not return this book
The book is not for me, I had hoped after some chapters it would me help me with health issues with Alzheimer's and dementia. It is not up to date at all. I would like to return it but the option is not coming up as with other books.

Excellent Information
This book is filled with absolutely wonderful info. It’s a must-read/listen if you’re dealing with this issue. It’d be a better audio book if it were updated audible but even still, it’s a valuable find.

Educational but repetitive
For anyone with a family member that has dimentia or alzheimers, this is a good book to take in. It is very repetitive at times between chapters, but it can help a care giver or family member some insight on how to deal with every day behaviors.

36 hours
Would you listen to The 36-Hour Day again? Why?
In this case, I would prefer the printed version in order to highlight specific parts for further review.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The 36-Hour Day?
The information provided to prepare the caregiver
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
not necessarily since it was more informative than story
