I AM ARNOLD

About the Book

I don't know any caregiver in the world who doesn't want the very best loving and caring treatment for their love one. For someone to make the final decision to remove their father, mother, wife, husband, etc., from their own home, from the place and people they know and love, is a mind-shattering decision. For a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease, a person who can't remember, who isn't in control of his or her life, it is especially horrible. Who will be their voice? Who will speak for them? Who will be in charge? This book is about exactly that! Show More Show Less
