In 1993, the Kansas Department
on Aging and the Kansas State University Cooperative
Extension Service published "A Caregivers Guide For
Alzheimer's and Related Disorders." That initial guide
was requested by a multitude of caregivers, health care
professionals and advocates for persons afflicted with
various types of dementia. A second printing was
completed in 1996. The revised guide is the result of
the study of current research, treatment and care giving
information. This is an excellent resource for
caregiving information.
