Alzheimer’s And Dementia: A Practical And Legal Guide For Nevada Caregivers Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Individuals or families receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or brain damage from a stroke face daunting questions: how to provide for 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. Here is a comprehensive guide specifically for aging Nevadans and for family members, professional caregivers, and health care workers who help them.The authors—an elder law attorney and a specialist in geriatric care management—offer readers useful advice from the perspective of Nevada resources and Nevada law, addressing such topics as the legal and financial steps that patients and their families can take to protect themselves and their assets, paying for long-term care, arranging for guardianship, and tending to the details that follow the death of a loved one. This edition, updated in 2011, includes information about recent changes in laws that affect seniors, new research and treatments, and a new guide to resources throughout the state that can provide assistance to people afflicted with these medical conditions.

My dear Mother had Dementia and this brought my Caregiver and I a lot closer on how to deal with Mom's problems. She lived in Philadelphia and I'm in Las Vegas. I'm Handicapped and now my Husband understands the signs and knows what to expect if this happens to me.
A very insightful book on the legal aspects of elder care. I'd definitely recommend it. It's good reading for anyone, but particularly useful for people in Nevada.
Very good book. Excellent points for estate planning
