This caregiverÕs handbook is dedicated to my cute, strong, resilient, caring, loving, giving, happy, witty, and sometimes nosey, mother. She was a caregiver to her partially paralyzed father, three children, one handicap, and an elderly mother. She could have taught a master class on how to be a caring, and devoted caregiver. I learned from the best.
To new caregivers, this handbook was written out of necessity. I donÕt want anyone to experience what my mom and I experienced in a nursing facility. I want you to start out knowing what questions to ask, making sure your family member whether they are a short- or long-term patient is provided with the professional, consistent, quality care that they deserve as a human being. I pray that this handbook guide will make your journey easier and fulfilling.
