Download or read book A Cookbook for Caregivers written by Janet Laidler and published by Janet Laidler. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is especially made for burgeoning population of caregivers who are cooking for their aging parents on a daily basis. But it is more than just recipes in a cookbook. This is a step-by-step guide to managing time for meal planning, shopping, preparation and serving healthy, delicious meals. Janet Laidler, a professional chef and caregiver, developed it based on the foods and phytonutrients that are proven to help reverse the effects of aging on our brains. Her recommendations focus on specific foods for anti-aging, protein rotation, and plain old fashioned taste! And, it extends beyond seniors, as our diet affects our wellbeing at any age. Janet found that people still want to eat the food they grew up with whether it is good for them or not. This book features recipes for common comfort meals presenting fresh combinations of food intended to help the absorption of nutrients through the blood-brain barrier in a variety of the brain's lobes. Even working parents with children and teens, young professionals or grad students with little time on their hands will appreciate the time saving methods for preparing fresh grocery-to-table meals. This book makes it so much easier than a traditional cookbook. The book provides a week's worth of meals, a list of the kitchen tools needed, and a grocery list. Every meal's preparation is timed out with step-by-step instructions. You go to the store only once, and by the end of the week, all of the food is used...no waste. Everything is fresh, tastes better and is healthier. When she cooked for her parents, she saw a noticeable improvement in their attentiveness and energy. She talked to their doctor and the nurse at the home care agency about getting them healthier meals, explaining the improvement she saw. They both told her there are no guides or books for caregivers about cooking for home care or seniors, just regular cookbooks. After searching the internet and bookstores, and could find nothing that addressed the needs of caregivers for recipes and meal planning, let alone guides for shopping or time management. And certainly nothing about the importance of protein rotation and the planning that alone requires. So, she wrote the book herself and this book fills that void. "Everyone, sometime in their life, will take care of the elderly. Our mother, father, family member or very close friend will need special, enduring care. Ms. Laidler has written a gem. She has solved the nutrition question of, "What nutritious food do we provide the person in our care?" Well, here it is, your step by step instructional guide to ensure that your loved one will eat and receive a balanced, well rounded diet. This is a book is every caretaker should own."

Download or read book Already Toast written by Kate Washington and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of one woman’s struggle to care for her seriously ill husband—and a revealing look at the role unpaid family caregivers play in a society that fails to provide them with structural support. Already Toast shows how all-consuming caregiving can be, how difficult it is to find support, and how the social and literary narratives that have long locked women into providing emotional labor also keep them in unpaid caregiving roles. When Kate Washington and her husband, Brad, learned that he had cancer, they were a young couple: professionals with ascending careers, parents to two small children. Brad’s diagnosis stripped those identities away: he became a patient and she his caregiver. Brad’s cancer quickly turned aggressive, necessitating a stem-cell transplant that triggered a massive infection, robbing him of his eyesight and nearly of his life. Kate acted as his full-time aide to keep him alive, coordinating his treatments, making doctors’ appointments, calling insurance companies, filling dozens of prescriptions, cleaning commodes, administering IV drugs. She became so burned out that, when she took an online quiz on caregiver self-care, her result cheerily declared: “You’re already toast!” Through it all, she felt profoundly alone, but, as she later learned, she was in fact one of millions: an invisible army of family caregivers working every day in America, their unpaid labor keeping our troubled healthcare system afloat. Because our culture both romanticizes and erases the realities of care work, few caregivers have shared their stories publicly. As the baby-boom generation ages, the number of family caregivers will continue to grow. Readable, relatable, timely, and often raw, Already Toast—with its clear call for paying and supporting family caregivers—is a crucial intervention in that conversation, bringing together personal experience with deep research to give voice to those tasked with the overlooked, vital work of caring for the seriously ill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The role of caregiver in cancer care has expanded tremendously in recent years. People with cancer are living longer, and many cancer treatments once done in a hospital are now performed in an outpatient setting. In addition, hospital patients may be discharged early, often while they still are experiencing pain, discomfort, or other side effects from treatment. Caregivers at home suddenly have to perform tasks traditionally done by nurses, such as administering medications, monitoring symptoms, and hooking up intravenous antibiotics. Yet they have no formal training for the job. Whether the caregiver is a spouse, partner, adult child, or friend, this person fills an exceptional role--one the requires compassion and strength, as well as knowledge about health care issues. Cancer Caregiving A to Z was written by experts at the American Cancer Society to provide caregivers the knowledge they need to make the right decisions for loved ones who are recovering from cancer and the effects of cancer treatments"--Page 4 of cover.
