Description

A complete, step-by-step guide offering problem-solving and coping skills applicable to every caregiver's unique circumstances.

Drawn from over twenty-five years of experience, this comprehensive manual sets forth how to evaluate priorities, understand options, and face bedrock issues so caregivers can make informed decisions for their loved ones, while balancing their own needs and gaining peace of mind.

Author and family caregiving expert David Levy provides a model for effective planning and decision-making, focusing on the nonclinical aspects of caregiving (legal, financial, emotional, and social), which are often neglected by medical professionals:

  • Caring for young and old victims of disability, illness, and chronic disorders
  • Finding ways to make a struggling care system work
  • Assembling core information about a loved one's life
  • Locating resources that can m are a difference in making sure a loved one's care needs are met
  • Finding a good family caregiver support group
  • Overcoming the roadblocks that the caregiver's feelings of distress and failure can create
  • Taking a practical approach to that overused phrase "Take care of yourself"

  • David Levy, JD is a gerontologist and a recognized family caregiver expert. Levy holds a Doctor of Jurisprudence and is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator in family caregiving and a certified Family Conflict Dynamics Profiler. He facilitates weekly family caregiver support groups and counsels family caregivers, both pro bono and privately.
