Becoming the primary caregiver for a spouse, family member, friend, or loved one can be a tremendously rewarding and equally challenging experience. How do you know if you're the right person to be a caregiver? What important conversations should you have beforehand to make sure that you're starting off on the right foot? What aspects of care should you manage personally and how do you assemble the best support team to handle the rest? How do you deal with doctors, hospitals, and other medical issues? Oh, and in the midst of those questions and many, many more, who takes care of you? As you invest your time, energy and strength into caregiving, how do you avoid burnout and maintain your own physical and emotional wellbeing? The Complete Caregiver's Organizer is designed to help you provide the best possible care to others without neglecting your own needs as a result. Robin Porter offers direct and attainable strategies for managing common issues that all caregivers face, from basic health and safety concerns to complex medical and legal questions, in addition to invaluable checklists, journaling components, activities, and ideas that will guide you along your path. Whether you're a first-time caregiver struggling with questions and confusion about where to start or one with more experience who is feeling overwhelmed and outmatched, the tips and tools contained in The Complete Caregiver's Organizer will start to bring balance back to your life.
