This small book contains 85 photographs taken by Cathy Stein Greenblat at the Silverado Senior Living center in Escondido, California. Sensitive and deeply moving, the photographs are of people who are in various stages of AD. The images are accompanied by poignant captions and quotes, as well as touching biographies. The text and accompanying photographs demonstrate that people with AD can be very “alive” during their remaining years in an institution. The book discusses the strides the caregiving industry is taking to provide personalized and individual attention, and highlights the positive aspects of patients’ lifestyles at Silverado. Volunteers and caregivers participate in songs and dances with the elderly, and the staff help support patients in making their own decisions, such as where to go on an outing or whether they would like a pet. This book is testimony to the fact that institutionalized AD patients can thrive within a stimulating environment for some time.
