Caring for Aging Parents: A Manual of Treatment for the In-Home Eldercare of Family Members Suffering Dementia, Alzheimer’s and other Chronic Diseases

Age is not a bullet that can be dodged. It is a freight train that is barreling towards everyone we love that can only hit our parents first. Unfortunately, too many of us are caught completely unprepared for our new role as caregiver. Whether we have to just ‘check-in’ on our parents from time to time, or we have assumed the role as primary caregiver, taking care of the elderly is never as simple as it sounds. Seasoned caregiver, Carol A. Rogers, has finally brought to print this manual of treatment for the aging parent. In it, she discusses the journey that you and your parent will go on beginning with a discussion of mental and physical changes of the parent, living situations, emotional health of parent and child, how to live with dementia, and finally what to do when you can do no more. Caring for Aging Parents is an essential guide for everyone who is and will be caring for their parents and loved ones.
