A serious, scholarly, and sensitive book. -- Mary Gergen PsycCRITIQUES This must-read volume will inspire the reader to contemplate the call to care for others with self-giving communities. Highly Recommended. Choice 2012 Both A Loving Approach to Dementia Care and Aging Together are very kindly books giving warm guidance on coping with old people who are seriously confused. -- Martin Guha International Psychogeriatrics 2012 This is not a how-to handbook but a kindly and perhaps over-optimistic general discussion that will be of interest to caregivers, particularly Americans, and particularly those coming from a religious background. The rest of us can all gain something from it too, however... Aging Together reminds us that warmth and friendship can be maintained in trying situations. -- Martin Guha International Psychogeriatrics 2012 Readable and useful...Anyone who wants to teach, practise or encourage person-centred care for people with dementia will find a lot in this book. -- Ibadete Fetahu Nursing Times 2012
