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.”

In your tenure as a caregiver, you will most likely avail yourself of home healthcare services at least once. It may well turn out to be the start of your caregiving journey. From an elder care standpoint, home health is a multi-disciplinary medical service provided to patients in their homes.
In this first-hand guide I detail how we optimized the care and services home health provided which allowed us to better meet the needs of our loved ones. It explains one family's experience and should not replace the advice of a doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional. Nothing in this eBook should be construed as professional advice.
