Join Dave Nassaney, The Caregiver’s Caregiver, Wednesday, 4/1/15 at noon, PST, (AND AFTERWARDS ON RECORDED PODCAST) as he interviews RICK LAUBER, author, creator of CAREGIVER’S GUIDE FOR CANADIANS, and former caregiver to both his elderly parents.

Rick will be discussing:
•What should you expect when caring for your elderly parents?
•Should your parents stay at home, or move to assisted living?
•Who should you ask for help when you need it – siblings, professionals?

•Burning the Candle at Both Ends – The Importance of Caregiver Self-Care (focusing on the benefits of respite and some ideas of how to take a break)

In Rick’s latest book, “Caregiver’s Guide For Canadians,” the author guides you through typical caregiving issues and includes checklists for differing areas of eldercare, so that you can better manage and ensure that you’re providing the best care possible for your loved one.
