And if you don’t know where to start, this invaluable tool tells you, step by step, what you need and why.You can easily personalize the to-do lists, either in the book or electronically, and have them available for quick reference for your caregiving team—family, friends, aides, and medical, financial, and legal professionals.This new book—third in the Checklist series from AARP and the ABA—will save you time and simplify the daunting tasks of caregiving.

This AARP and American Bar Association book by Sally Balch Hurme appears to be another in the Hurme series on end of life issues. It is advertised as having all the checklists available online. However, I've found only the 1st 3 chapters available online. There are 11 chapters. The initial To Do checklists and My Action checklists are not included in the brief excerpt. The advantages of having the checklists online are probably obvious. The ability to print the checklists and add them to a notebook along with the accompanying documents is key to the instructions given in the Introduction. Of course, the checklists can be used directly in the book itself, however that makes it difficult to use the book for more than one person, and certainly would benefit from a binding that lies flat instead of the ordinary paperback style.

IT's probably full of good information, but I purchased it to use while teaching a workshop to Senior's about planning early (as in, now) for the future and this checklist was difficult to read...not broken down into workable checklists. Needs to be more user friendly.

Being a caregiver for my spouse is more difficult yet more gratifying than I expected. It is still hard to see him suffer but this checklist gave me confidence (along with the help of medical personnel) that I could be a good caregiver for him.

Wish there were checklists you could tear out and leave for substitute caretakers

I knew most of this information, yet for those just starting out in caring for an elderly, the practical information is helpful.

not what I thought it would be
