The role of 'Care-Giver' that so many of you will, mostly likely, encounter at some point in your lifetime is oftentimes demanding. Not properly and thoroughly understood, the step-by-step and day-to-day 'care-giving' process for a family member or some loved one can also be complex and often stressful. It must be approached seriously and pursued diligently.

The Caregiver’s Handbook provides the kind of useful information and guidance needed to assist you in being adequately prepared to meet and organize the challenging role of 'caregiver' head-on.

Here is a sampling of the kind of information included in the Handbook:

• Simple explanations for reference words such as, Health Proxy, Health Care Directive, and Medicaid Planning.
• An organized section to record medications, doctor’s names, phone numbers and recent hospitalizations.
• Brief descriptions of what to ask and look for while selecting a home health care agency, assisted living facility, adult day care or nursing home.
• Realistic answers and tips on personal hygiene, shower and bathing, handling the holidays and more, all to help the 'caregiver' get through each day more easily.
• A convenient calendar to schedule doctor’s appointments.
• A place to keep a running journal that will help you express, remember and share some of your daily thoughts and reactions, good or bad, to the ‘care-giving’ process. More times than not, it can be very demanding.
• Phone contact numbers and websites of important resources for helpful information.

Special 'Handbook' pricing and distribution for care-giving service organizations:
