Are You Prepared to be a Caregiver?

Approximately 90% of all caregiving situations at home occur with little or no warning. Are you prepared to care for a loved one at home if it happened to you? This book outlines, from the author's experience over a six-year caregiving period, those things that you should consider to ease the stress of caregiving; these include financial planning to afford the cost of in-home private care, estate planning to ensure your heirs receive the maximum value of your estate, the benefits of long-term healthcare insurance, outfitting your home to minimize accidents, and obtaining household support so you can focus your time and efforts on the patient.
