Age groups: the elderly; Care of the elderly; Coping with illness

Four factors are rapidly converging into a """"silver tsunami"""" that will soon challenge every aspect of American society: 1) the increasing number of people living with dementias; 2) the mounting number of people providing dementia care, whether they want to or not; 3) the spiraling healthcare costs of dementia care; and 4) the lack of geriatricians to provide medical care and oversight. The way dementia care is currently provided is simply not sustainable. Congregations and other community groups must on the one hand find ways to support those providing dementia care, and on the other hand become involved in long-term efforts to make such care reliable, reasonable, and affordable so that those with dementia will not be forsaken.

Reviews for Do Not Forsake Me

""Brimming with faith, hope, and charity, Pastor Paul Rader's heartfelt Do Not Forsake Me is a much-needed commonsense guide to the day-to-day support and care of dementia sufferers and--equally important--of those who support and care for them."" --Roy Morris Jr., author of Gertrude Stein Has Arrived: The Homecoming of a Literary Legend ""Do Not Forsake Me is an invaluable resource for all pastors and congregations. Paul Rader breaks down this challenging subject into easily understandable chapters. The resources and practical advice are indispensable. Most importantly, Paul offers hope in the stories he shares. This book is a great tool for congregations discerning how to provide care for those in their communities."" --Wendy Neff, general presbyter, Presbytery of East Tennessee
