About being a family caregiver Lori writes, “Caregiving is a work of the heart, chosen in love. In our journey as caregivers, my husband and I found our greatest success in our ability to be innovative. Besides the general concerns that arise with aging, our experience lies in caring for my father-in-law with Parkinson's disease and dementia, and my mother with cancer. I document everything and have filled many three-ring binders with what has transpired in our home over the years. A home health care assessment assured us we had created a safe and supportive environment for our parents. Our nurse suggested other families may find value in our experiences, thus I began writing. I have turned my notes into several short and specific caregiver guides. While I write from the perspective of a PD/dementia caregiver, the information has universal application within the realm of family eldercare. My dream is that sharing our lives as family caregivers will support and encourage others on a similar path.”

My husband and my goal as caregivers to our parents has been to keep us all together in our home for the remainder of their lives. Our heartfelt belief, from the beginning, was that we could provide our parents with the safest and warmest environment, as well as the best personalized, loving care. When we came to the realization, first, that my Father-in-Law's and, later, my Mother's needs were beyond our abilities, it was a harsh truth. Over the course of seeking a licensed care facility, we have learned a great deal.
In my eBook Parkinson's Disease and Dementia Family Caregiver Series: Finding a Care Home I detail the steps we took to find the proper care environment for our parents. I also discuss care options, costs, and provide a printable version of the checklist I used for interviewing and touring care facilities.
This ebook is an invaluable tool for any family seeking additional care for their loved one.
