If you are experiencing this disease with a loved one, then you know the loneliness and frustration of trying to be all the person you care for needs.My sister bought this book, read it overnight, highlighted and post-it tabbed the most important parts, mailed it to me priority mail, and i have used it at night as a touchstone for salvation.It is indeed a bible for HOW to treat your loved one.I use it to get what I need to know in terms of sensitivity to what my cared for relative needs. I would be lost without it...it will help keep you on a path ofthe right relationshipwith your loved one that you will want to live up to.I promise you ,read it, highlight it, and you will not ever look back and regret anything you did, if you follow its advice.A true gift.

Review of The Caregiver's Guide: Helping Older Friends and Relatives with Health and Safety Concerns (Paperback)

If you ever wished for a very experienced Doctor and / or nurse, with the time to give you all the information you needed, this book is the answer to your prayers.The guide is the culmination of Carolin's interviews with leading doctors, nurses, social workers, and researchers.

A MUST 'keep handy' reference book. The material isunderstandable and complete.Each chapter deals with a group of related problems.For instance, Chapter 6 is titled "Oh, My Aching Bones'. It covers basic problems through hip replacement and includes "Yes, Basic Problems Have Typical Solutions" and"When Do You Need a Doctor".

I have bought several for friends and recommend it to each caregiver I meet.It offers practical solutions to common problems, safety tips, hands-on care, and most important, how the issues relate to older people.
