Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you care for an aging parent without becoming a full-time home aide? What happens when you need to ensure an elderly loved one is being cared for, but giving up your own life and career isn't an option? These are the questions author Petra Weggel began asking herself when she suddenly found herself unexpectedly responsible for her parents. Living thousands of miles away from them, she couldn't offer the hands-on attention other adult children gave out of a sense of duty. She also couldn't ignore the reality that they needed help. Through trial and error, Petra realized her role was that of a care organizer - someone in charge of managing two lives. Along the way she became fluent in elder care topics like living options, finances, and legal considerations. If you have ever wondered what will happen if your parent can no longer take care of themselves, or felt overwhelmed at the idea of giving up your own life to fill the role of caregiver, this is the book you need to read today! An easy-to-use 64-page digital "Care Organizer" is included with your purchase. Download the file from the website theeldercareplaybook.com, fill in the blanks, and save.

Download or read book The Elder Care Cliff 1 0 written by Stella Nsong and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for The Elder Care Cliff 1.0 In my 39 years in the eldercare industry and a caregiver myself, I have picked up a lot of tips from this book. As caregivers, we want to do all that we can, not thinking of what it is doing to our own well-being. Your loved one needs your help, but he/she still needs the socialization of others and a routine to keep well physically and mentally. Respite is a must, and like Stella Nsong so eloquently puts it, respite is an investment in caregiving. It is easy to read and understand and loaded with valuable information. Its a must-read for all caregivers. - Walt Walko, chairman of the board of the CAREgiving Institute The Elder Care Cliff 1.0 is an easy read that makes you want to make positive changes in your world as a caregiver. Lesson learned, take care of yourself first so you can provide care for others as long as necessary. Look for the present each day, knowing tomorrow may never come. I appreciated the top ten ways to care for oneself in chapter 9. -S. Baker, caregiver and registered dietician After years of caring for Mom and Dad as they declined, I had never heard of the term respite or respite care. Like thousands of others, I found out the hard way that caregiver stress takes a serious toll on our own bodies. But it sneaks up on us, and we dont deal with it. Eventually, we and our loved ones suffer. This book is about how respite care will save you from exhaustion, guilt, depression, heart problems, or worse. The author speaks from decades of experience and shows us how to keep or restore our health and our hopes, before a care crash happens. -T. Andrews, caregiver and regulatory and compliance writer for the pharmaceutical industry

As we teach students the best practices to meet the needs of clients, we often fail to provide evidence-based tools to assist students and young professionals in maintaining a strong and vibrant self. Stillpoint could be a helpful textbook for social workers serving others in what turns out to be a hazardous occupation."-Lynn Coghill, LCSW, Director of University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work MSW Program, retired

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing assistant has a special and vital role in nursing home care. Providing continuous and close relationships with the nursing home residents, the assistance is challenged daily to solve the numerous problems that arise in working with the elderly. It is frequently the assistant who must find ways to help when residents refuse to get up, become incontinent, cannot find the dining room, cannot sleep, grieve over their families' failure to visit, argue with other residents, make excessive demands for personal care, imagine illnesses and demons, and fear death. This book is designed to help the nursing assistant and other elder care providers develop and refine the needed understanding of the elderly and how to work with them. In the everyday context of the nursing home and its residents, it identifies categories of helping opportunities, presents over 100 case studies to illustrate them, and suggests techniques that nursing assistants may use to make the most of these opportunities. The vivid, dramatic, and realistic cases are drawn from extensive field observations of nursing home residents and the work of nursing assistants, as well as from many in-depth interviews. An indispensable training and discussion guide for nursing assistants; for nurses, social workers, and other staff members of nursing homes who train and supervise nursing assistants; and for those who design and manage elderly care programs.
