- Care
at Home: An E-book About Eldercare at Home
Families are increasingly involved in providing care for older
adults who want to remain at home. If they are to give the care
and support that an older person needs, they need guidance from
professionals who have experience and expertise in managing
problems that older adults face. To meet these challenges, advice
and guidance from experienced professionals can be important
and helpful. Eldercare at Home gives this guidance. It is written
by a team of professionals with extensive experience in geriatric
care. Eldercare at Home gives clear, practical instructions
for dealing with common caregiving problems and supports a problem-solving
approach to managing care at home and working cooperatively
with health professionals. Three types of problems are addressed
in this book: physical problems, mental/social problems, and
problems in managing care.

- The Gold Violin
This is a great site that offers dignified, high quality gifts
and tools that seniors can really use. It was recommended by
Susan Stamberg on NPR as a source of handy items with good design,
high quality construction, and made with respect for the dignity
of elders. One look at the choices of designer canes, the fancy
pill boxes, or the talking watches and you will see many items
your elders just "have to have".
