Author Joyce Greene, who has cared for her own mother in her home, relies on vast personal experience to provide caregivers with practical advise on how to choose an advocate, ensure the patient’s safety, organize the home, properly administer medication, fulfill dietary needs, plan health care appointments and activities, and incorporate a plan for wellness.

Included in the book are handy checklists for family members and caregivers that ensure financial and insurance information is up-to-date and that all the patient’s needs are addressed.
