Learning to Speak Alzheimer's: A Groundbreaking Approach for Everyone Dealing with the Disease by Joanne Koenig Coste

This is an introduction to Alzheimers patient care by entering the patient's world and not expecting them to be in yours. Basically a list of resources and ideas. Several good ones. It was an audiobook so I can't refer back to this easily but I can see that down the road I may want a copy of this to refer to. Also, I would love to see an updated version - this is going on 15 years old.
