Working Family Resource Center Recommends…

“The Unexpected Caregiver: How Boomers Can Keep Mom & Dad Active, Safe and Independent,” by Kari Berit, An Attainment Company Publication, 2007.

As their parents grow older, growing numbers of Baby Boomers find themselves thrust into a caregiver role, often with little warning or preparation. In a sense, they must function somewhat like activity directors in senior-care facilities, helping mom and dad come to terms with both day-to-day concerns and longer-term issues. In “The Unexpected Caregiver,” Kari Berit retargets her upbeat, practical ideas for family members who must take on a caregiver’s role, but without the preparation, training and institutional resources on which professionals can draw. For anyone who takes on the highly emotional role of caregiver to an aging parent, “The Unexpected Caregiver” offers priceless support, ideas and comfort.
