After reading this from our local library, I felt it was worthwhile to add it to my own home library. Excellent suggestions, great illustrations, and covers a lot of things you would never think of. When I became a caregiver for my husband during Hospice, I turned to this book over and over again. A quick and easy reference.
This is one of the greatest Caregiver's handbook. As a caregiver we are always looking for new ideas to help us understand what s going on and what to expect in the future. This answers a lot of my questions.
This is a book that is a must-read for caregivers. It covers a large spectrum of information you will need and it is presented in a straight-forward, visual way.
The old edition had great templates in the back that were helpful for me! I would reccomend it if you are a family caretaker!
Pictures and visuals are superior to any book I have read on this subject. This UK publishing company has done an excellent job. From my standpoint of a family caregiver, it is a very good book.
Bought 2. Had flipped thru one at a bookstore. A lot of useful information for anyone starting in caregiving for a loved one or as a career.
