Complete Guide to Caring for Aging Loved Ones: A Lifeline for Those Navigating the Practical, Emotional, and Spiritual Aspects of Caregiving

There are many "complete guides" to caring for loved ones; I've seen many of them, as I receive them from the publishers to review. This is one that I think really was a "complete guide" and having it from a Christian perspective (published with Focus on the Family) is a nice benefit. The reading is not complex or dry. You will be able to quickly find information to reference. A lot of other books may help you with the nitty-gritty specifics of finding adequate care or learning how to cope with your parent's lessened independence, but this book has a wonderful overview, offering support and resources. It's a must-have for your shelf to reference back to for life-issues as they arrive.

As a family physician, I care for patients every day who don't have a clue what to do when their parents need care. This book can help a family prepare for the eventual tasks that either are or will face them in the future (if a parent is still alive). This complete guide is medically accurate and chock full of wise advice. It's in my library and I highly recommend it to my patients.

This book has very practical information. As a Geriatrician, I frequently encounter patients and their families who have multiple questions regarding aging issues. Now, I have a tool I can share with them. It is easy to read and well worth the price. It would also be a wise gift.

This is an EXCELLENT book! Anyone who is currently caring for or planning to care for an aging loved one must BUY THIS BOOK and use it as a resource. It truly is the complete guide as it covers all aspects of aging with practical stories as examples. It would make a great gift for a loved one or friend. I highly recommend it!
