Media darling and director of Memory and Healthy Aging at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. Zaldy Tan’s What to Remember When You Are Forgetting shares the definitive guide to thriving with dementia for the recently diagnosed and their caregivers.

Renowned memory and Alzheimer’s disease specialist, researcher, educator, and author Dr. Zaldy Tan, the Harvard-trained director of the Cedars-Sinai Memory and Healthy Aging Program, shares the definitive guide to thriving with dementia, in a format similar to the perennial bestseller What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

With an incredibly thorough and deeply comforting approach, Dr. Tan tackles everything from how to handle an initial assessment for Alzheimer’s and who should be present, to what accommodations and treatments should be made for each stage. He delves into the surprisingly hopeful research on new treatment and coping modalities everyone should know, and reveals how other families and remarkable individuals he’s treated over the years have handled both difficult challenges and incredible triumphs after diagnosis.
