17 Years a Caretaker

This book is for anyone who has found him or herself in the position of taking care of loved ones suffering from Alzheimer's, Dementia, and any other crippling illness. 17 Years A Caretaker is the story of one man's long journey in the care of his mother and some of the challenges he faced. Xavier is open and honest in expressing how he coped with the struggle of dealing with the loss of the mother he knew, caring for the mother she had become during her illness and handling her loss. Most compelling is his frankness in how he was affected by Alzheimer's and the steps he took to maintain his sanity.
