Now available in Spanish, The Best Friends Approach to Alzheimer's Care is your guide to the groundbreaking and uplifting method for the care of people with Alzheimer's disease. Discover the power of the essential elements of friendship: respect, empathy, support, trust, humor. These are the building blocks of a care model that's both effective and flexible enough to adapt to each person's remaining strengths and abilities. It's easy. It's natural. It works.

Learn how to ensure the highest quality of life for people with Alzheimer's disease, not just by preventing catastrophic episodes but by making every day consistently reassuring, enjoyable, and secure.

This resource includes an introduction by Lilia Mendoza, founder of the Mexican Alzheimer's Society.
