The Successful Caregiver's Guide

You may be among the tens of millions of Americans who provide care for your parent — or you may be among the tens of millions who will.

So many children are caught unprepared when physical and mental health declines in aging parents. Life cannot readily prepare you to furnish excellent eldercare while balancing the demands on your time. The Successful Caregiver’s Guide provides practical tips, realistic guidance, encouragement and insight into the time ahead.

Among other things, this book answers these questions:

  • How will you decide when your parent stays at home or moves into assisted living?
  • What should you expect when caring for your elderly parents?
  • Who should you ask for help?
  • How do you balance caregiving responsibilities with your personal life?

The Successful Caregiver’s Guide includes extensive explanations of your options and checklists for providing differing types of eldercare to help you choose the best care possible for your loved one.

Caregiver's Guide for Canadians

A superbly written and well documented book that guides the reader through typical eldercare issues provided by professional and private caregivers. Rick Lauber is a Canadian author who offers a comprehensive guide to care of our loved ones in their "greying" years, including resources, checklists, and worksheets. The author packs this little gem with practical advice such as wills, trusteeships, guardianships, driving and home safety, mobility aids, hospital visits, accommodation, travel, demographic charts, ideas for gifts, special occasions, the best times to visit one's loved one, activities and support groups, finances, and much more. There is also a section on avoiding burnout. This invaluable book is a must for the one in five Canadians who are providing or will provide care to an elderly parent.
