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. This book provides practical tips, realistic guidance, encouragement and insight into the time ahead. Among other things, it answers: • How do you decide when your parent stays at home or moves to 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 differing types of eldercare to help you choose the best care possible for your loved one.

This comprehensive guide answers all a caregiver’s common questions, such as: • Should my parent stay at home or move to assisted living? • How do I balance caregiving responsibilities with my personal life? • When to apply for guardianship and/or trusteeship • How to hire a professional caregiver should the need arise

Book excerpt: Alzheimer's disease is often referred to as a family disease because of the constant emotional strain it places on family members as they watch their loved ones slowly slip away. But for those left with caring for their loved ones, the emotional, physical, and financial toll can be enormous so much so that most caregivers fail to take care of themselves and become depressed, ill and unable to continue their role as caregiver. Courage to Care: A Caregiver's Companion Through the Stages of Alzheimer's helps to ease the burden of those who have accepted this labor of love by providing them with knowledge and coping strategies to make it through each stage of this progressive and complicated disease. The book focuses not only on how to deal with the emotional issues associated with the disease, but provides specific advice on how to make life easier and more enjoyable for both the loved one and the caregiver.

Book excerpt: An all-in-one guide for helping caregivers of individuals with brain injury or degenerative disease to address speech, language, voice, memory, and swallowing impairment and to distinguish these problem areas from healthy aging. Advances in science mean that people are more likely to survive a stroke or live for many years after being diagnosed with a degenerative disease such as Parkinson's. But the communication deficits that often accompany a brain injury or chronic neurologic condition—including problems with speech, language, voice, memory, and/or swallowing—can severely impact quality of life. If you are a caregiver coping with these challenges, this all-in-one book can help you and your loved one. Written by a team of experts in speech-language pathology, each chapter focuses on a different aspect of caregiving and features relatable patient examples. Providing answers to common questions, definitions of complex medical terms, and lists of helpful resources, this book also: • touches on expected, age-related changes in communication, memory, swallowing, and hearing abilities, to name a few • offers practical strategies for caregivers to cope with speech, language, and voice problems and to maximize their loved one's ability to communicate • reveals how caregivers can assist their loved ones with swallowing challenges to maintain good nutrition and hydration • provides crucial information on how caregivers can handle grief and take care of themselves during the caregiving process • explains how to incorporate the arts, as well as a loved one's hobbies and interests, into their communication or memory recovery This comprehensive book will allow readers to take a more informed and active role in their loved one's care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday caregiving is indeed uncharted territory and happens to be one of the toughest jobs that there can and will ever be. Care giving can suddenly become the responsibility for any one at any age without notice. In order to be an effective person and not burn out, one must take the necessary steps to keep life balanced in terms of what one as a human being can and cannot do, but yet still pursue individual self -worth. After several years as a full time caregiver, I have used these tips to fixate my life in becoming both a doctoral candidate as well as maintaining a successful ministry without caregiver neglect. Under the circumstances, I could have easily given up aspirations or settled for mediocre in terms of career and ministry. But it takes prayer, wisdom, patience, dedication, hard work, faith and hope to be able to juggle these daily endeavors and yet uphold quality service. There are no regrets. I do believe that the journey and the disappointments along the way form the best in you. My hope is that you will use this book as a model and see yourself as a winner. My prayer is that as you daily care give, you become the best overall individual in terms of health, emotional well-being and purpose that you were destined in life to be. My prayers continually go out for both you and your care recipients.
