Patient and Family Resources

The Memory and Alzheimer's Treatment Center

One of the things that sets the Memory Center apart is the support we provide to both patients and families in the form of individual care but also with a newsletter to keep you informed, an advisory council, podcasts, books and web links. We hope you find them useful.

The second edition of Practical Dementia Care, a widely read and well-respected manual written by Center faculty members, teaches physicians, nurses, psychologists, and therapists caring for Alzheimer’s patients details of the Johns Hopkins model or dementia care.	The 36-Hour Day: A Family Guide to Persons Caring for Persons with Alzheimer’s Disease, first published in 1981, is the groundwork for Center’s commitment to public education. Co-authored by Memory Center faculty member, Dr. Peter V. Rabins, the book was the first of its kind. Now in its fifth edition, the book remains a definitive resource for families.
