A complete, step-by-step guide offering problem-solving and coping skills applicable to every caregiver's unique circumstances.
Drawing from over twenty-five years of experience, Levy provides caregivers with a model for effective planning and problem-solving, focusing on the nonclinical aspects of caregiving, which are often neglected by medical professionals:
- Caring for young and old victims of disability, illness, and chronic disorders
- Finding ways to make our healthcare system work Assembling core information about a loved one's life
- Developing a realistic view of how much care a loved one needs today and may need tomorrow, and understanding that continuum of care
- Locating resources that can make a difference in making sure a loved one's care-needs are met
- Finding a good family caregiver support group
- Overcoming the roadblocks the caregiver's feelings of distress and failure can create
- Taking a practical approach to that overused phrase "Take care of yourself."
