By Virginia Bell, M.S.W., David Troxel, M.P.H., Tonya Cox, M.S.W., and Robin Hamon, M.S.W.

"The activities in this book will help any family or professional caregiver provide enrichment and dignity throughout the Alzheimer's journey. I've learned from this book and from the Best Friends philosophy that it often only takes 30 seconds to make a difference.  We should all practice the Best Friends way with our residents and each other!"
–Linda Nickolisen, S.L.P., Director of Program Development, Avamere Health Services, Inc., Wilsonville, OR

"Our caregivers embrace the Best Friends™ philosophy every day, knowing that good care is about relationships and doing creative things together. This new book offers hundreds of life-affirming, creative ideas that family and professional caregivers can use at home. Highly recommended!"
–Buck Shaw, Home Instead Senior Care, Sacramento CA

"Embracing the activity principles in the Best Friends model has helped us to capture the very essence of how activity programming should be for person-centered care. Our residents and staff have responded so positively to the Best Friends program that we have made Best Friends our road map to achieving excellence in dementia care."
–Jill Hess, L.M.S.W., A.C.S.W., Vice President, Organizational Development, Heritage Community of Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo, MI
