American Red Cross Offers New Caregiver Guide
The American Red Cross online store is offering a new quick reference guide and DVD set designed to assist caregivers in the home.
The Family Caregiving Guide provides step-by-step instructions on a variety of topics including safely administering medications, healthy nutrition, and dealing with important financial and legal issues. It also focuses special attention on the health and well being of those giving care in a segment called Caring for the Caregiver.
“As our population continues to live longer, more and more of us will find ourselves responsible for the day-to-day quality of life for our parents or even spouses. You can only meet their needs–and your own–if you are properly prepared. Family Caregiving gives you the tools and knowledge to make the role of caregiver much easier.”
– Jean Erdtmann, RN, American Red Cross
