Can you or someone you know answer "yes" to the following questions?
-
Do you find your weekends spent taking an elderly loved one shopping or fixing up their home?
-
Do you feel "sandwiched" between the needs of your children and the growing needs of your parents?
-
Do you find you are taking a lot of time off of work to take an elderly loved one to doctor appointments?
-
Do you ever feel like you are parenting your parents?
If you or someone you know can answer "yes" to any of these questions, the books "Along Comes Grandpa, Caregiving Resources for People in the Real World" and "If I Walked in Her Shoes" can help.
A wide variety of caregiving resources are available on this site. Along with wanting to link caregivers with helpful resources, I also want to assist professionals. Many times in my professional life I have come across other professionals who are not aware of resources that would make their life a lot easier. Instead of re-creating the wheel, why not link to it! This site also has useful educational tools for professionals who work day to day with the geriatric population.
There is so much to know when it comes to helping older adults and their families, I pray that this site will be a powerful tool and provide you with the caregiving resources to help others who are Called to help older adults.
