“Carol Bowlby Sifton is a visionary and practical genius when it comes to enhancing the lives of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. Navigating the Alzheimer’s Journey will appeal to the everyday caregiver who just wants to know what to do and how to do it.”

“While other books address some aspects of Alzheimer’s caregiving, Navigating the Alzheimer’s Journey serves as a comprehensive ‘travel guide’ written by a fellow traveler. It should be required reading for all Alzheimer’s disease caregivers.”
