The Parkinsn Archive Treasures Caregiver's Handbook 4 C. Introduction 1. You, the caregiver, are very important.
Few people are prepared for the responsibilities and tasks involved in caring for the aged.
To help make the task easier, it is important to have a game plan in life which helps determine where we are headed and how we are going to get there. This guide will help to serve as a road map which gives optional paths for caregivers. It is also an emphatic reminder that those who care for other people can do a better job of caregiving if time and attention also are given to their own personal needs. Before you get to that place, please read this handbook. This handbook explores a number of different topics which can make the role of caregiver easier, and at the same time, help the person receiving the care.
