About the Book
When the doctors told Lela Shanks that Alzheimer's would render her husband totally
helpless, she was given no instructions on how to manage his disease at home. It was
understood that Alzheimer's patients were destined for institutional care. Undaunted, she
cared for Hughes at home for the next thirteen years until his peaceful death in 1998. In
Your Name Is Hughes Hannibal Shanks, Lela Shanks sets forth the knowledge and wisdom that
made all the difference. She describes her initial denial, her gradual acceptance, and her
discovery that the key to successful caregiving lies in never losing sight of the
patient's humanity. Shanks details the symptoms and stages of the disease, sets forth
practical techniques for managing problems such as wandering and incontinence, and
outlines twenty coping and survival strategies for caregivers.
