An enlightening, practical and reassuring guide to caring for elderly relatives, written with sensitivity.
The challenge of providing care to ageing parents places a huge burden of financial and emotional stress on a growing number of families. This insightful resource works to ease that burden by providing emotional support to those who want to ensure their parents' happiness and dignity in old age. Nearly all the practicalities of elder care are addressed in detail—everything from organizing home care, to using the power of attorney, to choosing a care home. A collection of anecdotes, quotes, and real-life stories allow caretakers to come to terms with their own feelings by showing them that they are not alone in their difficulties. Written with warmth and humanity, this guide provides clear and practical support to those working to ensure a comfortable life for their ageing loved ones.
Approximately 10 million people in the UK are over 65 - and that number is growing fast. Every year, thousands of people face the traumatic challenges brought about by their ageing parents' ailing health. The question of care places a huge burden of financial and emotional stress on a growing number of families, who may feel overwhelmed but who want to do the right thing to ensure their parents' dignity. Former editor-in-chief of Bella magazine Jackie Highe has written a book that is a lifeline for people who need emotional support and validation as they do their best to cope. With clearly laid-out guides to services and options, the book covers all the practicalities - everything from organising home care to power of attorney to how to choose a care home. But it does much more, taking readers on a journey through their own feelings, from when the first changes appear - when talking can be difficult - through all the ramifications of ill-health to death itself. It tackles what can often be a murky and depressing subject with warmth and humanity, using true stories and deeply moving quotes from people who are living through the changes. This book brings to life the rollercoaster of emotions that families live through - and provides clear practical help and support.
