Information sourcing, tracking, and organizing are daunting chores for many family caregivers. In this timely and urgently needed book, Dr. Kimberly Fraser, author of The Accidental Caregiver, provides you with a one-stop resource to delineate tasks and treatments and keep track of who's who in your caregiving world. She offers instructions on equipment and supplies, as well as advice on note-keeping, the gathering and storage of necessary documentation, and the logging of pertinent information related to the health and social needs of care recipients.
Information management is a challenge for all caregivers. The Care Book is the convenient, user-friendly tool you need to stay organized and focused, and best look after the ones you love.
