I wish I had known about this book years ago when my dear husband Richard was just starting to exhibit the signs of Lewy body dementia. At the time, I didn’t even know what Lewy body dementia was. I could have learned faster and been smarter with less anxiety of the unknown of what was happening and would happen. This book is sobering, especially for those early in their journey. But don’t let that stop you from reading it cover to cover. It is written by Helen Buell Whitworth and James Whitworth.

Managing Cognitive Issues in Parkinson’s & Lewy Body Dementia: Alternative Therapy Suggestions is the second book by Helen Buell Whitworth and James Whitworth. It is written in the same well-informed and easy-to-read style as A Caregiver’s Guide to Lewy Body Dementia. Building on the incredible information in their first book, I learned even more about how to proactively prepare for your loved one’s future along with your own. As one important example, knowing how some prescription drugs have dramatic and even permanent side effects on those with Lewy body dementia is mission-critical information that I wish I had known years ago.

Millions of children and adults experience academic difficulty and even failure when they don’t respond to traditional teaching methods.

We are not a listing agency, meaning we will not e-mail or mail you a list of places to check out on your own. We go with you to look at the best options; we make sure all of your questions are being answered. You also won’t get a hard sales pitch from the marketing team because they know you are with an agent. Because we are hands-on, we service the Pima County area and sub-contract with another company for Maricopa County.
