    About this ebook

    One in five Canadians are now providing eldercare
    to a parent in need, and as baby-boomers age, this
    number is likely to grow.
    What do you do when your mother or father
    grows old? It’s the natural course of life, but so many
    children of aging parents are unprepared. When a
    parent’s health begins to fail, an adult child is left
    scrambling to find help, to balance their time, and to
    cope.
    The Caregiver’s Guide will provide readers with
    valuable tips and advice to help them to provide the
    best eldercare possible while balancing the demands
    on their time.
    This is not a mental “self-help” book. While it
    does provide encouragement and support for
    caregivers, it also provides practical advice on how
    to care for elders in need. This comprehensive guide
    answers all a caregiver’s common questions, such as:
    • Should my parent stay at home or move to
    assisted living?
    • How do I balance caregiving responsibilities
    with my personal life?
    • When to apply for guardianship and/or
    trusteeship
    • How to hire a professional caregiver should
    the need arise
