Alzheimer's and Dementia

A Practical and Legal Guide for Nevada Caregivers
Individuals or families receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or brain damage from a stroke face daunting questions: how to provide care when the patient can no longer manage his or her own affairs, how to protect their rights and property, where to go for help, and how to cope with the day-to-day challenges of fading memory and diminished cognition. First published in 2011, Boyer and Shapiro’s Alzheimer’s and Dementia offers a comprehensive guide to families and professionals taking on the role of caregiver. The newly revised and updated edition offers practical strategies for dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, including new research and treatment updates.

The book, specific to Nevada, covers state laws including Medicaid planning, asset protection, guardianship, probate, advance directives, and patient rights. It also addresses estate and financial planning, and provides a detailed list of resources available to assist caregivers. Written by an elder law attorney and a gerontologist, Alzheimer’s and Dementiaoffers insights from two professionals who provide practical solutions to common obstacles faced by caregivers, helping them support the needs and overcome the challenges facing those coping with these diseases.

Boyer and Shapiro coauthored The Essential Eldercare Handbook for Nevada also available from the University of Nevada Press.
