excellent

gives you tips. Great help. I really liked it. Very compassionate people who wrote this. Id recommended it to anyone who is or is about to become a caregiver

Surprisingly Helpful

Now that I'm on my second go-round as a caregiver for a parent, I thought I knew the ropes fairly well. So I wasn't expecting much new information from this book. I was wrong. There's plenty of up-to-date help in this volume -- from assistance with legal affairs through taking care of the caregiver -- especially when that caregiver is you. While it does not cover any particular topic in great depth, it is a well-thought-out overview of the caregiving process. If you're just getting started as a caregiver, this book can give you plenty of solid help!

Excellent guide for family caregivers

This book is a complete reference for family caregivers. Editor, Beth Witrogen McLeod, founder of the National Family Caregivers Association, presents an excellent guide for family caregivers. Rosalynn Carter has written a forward highly recommending the book to "family caregivers and those who support them". McLeod includes clues for realizing when parents and older relatives need help and how to go about helping in a sensitive, understanding way. She provides checklists for all the many facets of caregiving such as gauging the skills of a patient, questions to ask the medical professionals, ways to arrange the household for easier access and whether the caregiver is taking care of herself. There is an extensive list of other resources at the back of the book.

WHEN THE TIME COMES

This book is absolutely necessary when the time comes to think about your parents, and their aging, and what to do just in case.How do I approach this w/ my parents? or , what child will be responsible for the arrangements?, or, why me?This book takes you thru the difficult questions, situations (especially w/ other siblings) and any thing else one WILL come across when deciding elder=care and how it applies to YOUR PARENTS. Don't forget the video companion. Beatiful ...

What an amazing guide!

Considering that caregiving responsibilities will impact every single person at some point in their life, this is the resource guide to own!! It truly is a "Caregiver's Companion" and a must-have for every caregiver. When the baby-boomers become aged (and it's starting to happen), a huge percentage of the population will require caregiving. This book gives resources and checklists, along with anecdotal stories from the people in the trenches. What a great book. I highly recommend this as a gift for you, your family, your friends - ANYONE who has to deal with the complexities of caregiving. Bravo!
