Synopsis

One day your mom fell. Or your dad forgot to turn off the stove. And suddenly, with no warning, you became their caregiver.

If you feel lost, tired or guilty, you are not alone. Caring for My Parents is the practical guide you wish you had from day one. It is written in plain language, with step-by-step drawings, so you know what to do, in what order, and how to do it without losing your own health.

Inside you will find:
• What to do in the first 72 hours, when everything changes at once.
• How to tell if your mom or dad can keep living alone.
• How to make the home safer and prevent falls.
• How to help them stand up, walk and get out of bed without anyone getting hurt.
• How to organize medicines and doctor visits.
• How to talk calmly when memory starts to fail.
• How to share the care with your siblings, with ready-to-use phrases.
• How to take care of yourself so you don't burn out.
• Templates to fill in: medicines, contacts, appointments, expenses and shifts.

Caring shouldn't cost you your health. Start today, one step at a time.
