You, Your Parent, and Your Caregiving Journey: Strategies, Resources, and Inspiration to Guide the Way
Are you already on the caregiving journey with aging parents? Or perhaps you are wondering—and worrying about—what care your parents may need as they get older? You are not alone!
No matter where you are on your caregiving journey, You, Your Parent, and Your Caregiving Journey: Strategies,
Resources, and Inspiration to Guide the Way will provide you with a new, more positive way to think about your parents’ aging process. And it will give you tools, practical strategies, and inspiration that you can use at every stage in the journey. You, Your Parent, and Your Caregiving Journey guides you through five important “Waypoints” of caregiving, offering information, skills, and proven strategies on how to:
• Understand aging in a new way, one that enhances the quality of your parent’s latter years;
• Have the conversations and do the preparations that will make your journey easier;
• Assess and ensure your parent’s safety;
• Make decisions with your parent about the best living options;
• Deal with the changes associated with dementia; and
• Stay healthy and happy throughout your caregiving journey.
This book will help you be a more effective, more compassionate, and less stressed caregiver. Even more, it will help you see that your caregiving journey will be worth the taking.

“A must-read for those who are looking for companionship and support through this journey” –Karen Fingerman, PhD, Research Director, Center on Aging and Population Sciences
