Download or read book The Complete Caregiver Support Guide written by Ester A. Leutenberg and published by Whole Person Associates. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family members, and sometimes close friends, are often called upon to act as caregivers to ill or aged people they care about or for whom they are responsible. Although there are many rewarding outcomes of the time spent between the courageous and dedicated caregiver and the care-receiver*, the caregivers are usually unprepared, untrained and unsupported. The caregivers are also often isolated. These factors can put a huge amount of stress on non-professional or family caregivers. Attending a caregiver support group focusing on specific issues is of great benefit for caregivers. Such groups can include those facilitated by professionals such as social workers, counselors and group facilitators, and those facilitated by lay persons, often themselves caregivers. The intention of Caregiver Support is to provide content for support group facilitators and caregivers that touches on crucial topics.

The planner allows employers to keep a detailed record of the responsibilities and tasks accomplished by their babysitter, nanny, or elderly parents' caregiver each day. This single tool eliminates the need for employers to verbally communicate every detail of their instructions with their caregiver, creating instead a central written record.Compact and portable, The Caregiver's Log is divided into six easily navigated sections. The family rules pages provide a record of the individual house rules, dietary restrictions, and medical information. The employer's notes and assignment pages allow employers to detail instructions and reminders, as well as to provide positive feedback to their employees. Activities are tracked on the daily schedule pages, and the caregiver's daily note pages enable employees to provide an account of the day's activities and make notes of future needs. Daily costs can be tracked on the description pages, while special pages are reserved for marking important dates and recording emergency contact information. A glossary translated into English, French, and Spanish is bound to further broaden the appeal of this great tool, which also will be appreciated by physicians, pediatricians, and other secondary caregivers. Not only will this specially designed notebook help caregivers perform their jobs well, it will ease management for employers, making The Caregiver's Log a vital part of any multi-generational household.Chock-full of helpful worksheets and advice (tips & 35 Do's and Don'ts for the senior caregiver, nanny or babysitter) from the author, The Caretaker's Log enables employers to: * outline expectations for a caregiver and itemize any instances in which he/she may not have performed as requested; * record assignments, house rules, medical and dietary restrictions, and more; * make note of important dates and appointments, such as birthdays, play dates, school holidays, and doctor's appointments; * encourage caregivers to keep a daily log of activities, descriptions of what happened with the people for whom they are caring, and what they may need for the next day; * establish a master list of emergency contact information.

Caregivers today, more than ever, use technology to help manage schedules, medication routines and pharmacy reminders, legal and financial affairs, as well as travel and expenses. Yet recent insurance options and health care’s emerging digital world make for an overwhelming, complex process.

Do you know how often your parents or parents-in-law are taking medications, how often your loved one goes to the doctor, and how to be involved in medical and life decisions? Statistics show 85 percent of caregivers are not trained in caregiving, so many people are likely winging it, picking up pieces of information here and advice there. The Caregiver’s Toolbox is your guide to cool apps and online tools, insider tips on how to reduce your medical bills, your privacy rights as a caregiver, where to go for free and low-cost help, and much more. It clearly shows which tools will relieve your stress, and those that may add stress. The authors dedicate much of their professional lives to helping people navigate the health care matrix.
