“It’s the book older parents wish their adult children would read!”
The all-in prepared caregiver knows what to expect and how to make the right decisions for parents who need help. All-In Caregiving shows how to deal with and care for the health and wellbeing of an elderly loved one. The wealth of information in this book gives a caregiver the confidence to make the right decisions and avoid the wrong ones.
The author, a nationally recognized expert in care of the elderly, takes much of the guesswork and anxiety out of caregiving. She shows the unpaid family caregiver what to do to be prepared and confidently take care of a loved one.
