Customer Reviews: Excellent! April 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Starr has outdone herself with this book! All of the tips are "real life" answers to everyday problems in dealing with the elderly, and people of all ages. Her tips and sugestions don't require additional money or effort, they incorporate everyday scenarios with everyday ideas. Loved it! Caregiving Tips A-Z, Alzheimer's and Other Demential March 26, 2008 This book really helped me when caring for my Grandmother. The tips in the book were helpful in everyday living. This book in particular helped so much since my Grandmother had Dementia. It is very USER FRIENDLY whether you read it completely or just skim through and use it as a tips guide. You can tell that the author had a real background in caregiving. The Illustrations and song titles were absolutely precious and and very appropriate, each chapter having its own song that identifies with the Baby-boomer population. So many of that generation are now looking at caring for their loved ones. Five stars to the author and illustrator for their creativity and real help for those of us now caring for their loved ones. I enjoyed the book and was helped enough by it that I purchased her other 3 books, "Caregiving Tips A-Z", "Hospice Care at Home", and "The Caring Caregivers Guide to Dealing with Guilt". (Five Stars for those books too!) Caring for Caregivers March 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is indeed "a practical guide" for getting through each day-- in a way that only caregivers can understand. The information in it has made my days better than they would have been otherwise. The chapters on communication and behavioral changes have helped in developing caregiver skills; and there are other helpful chapters on improving the home set-up and managing problems with family members. I was especially impressed with the detailed information put into this book on everything from adult role changes to getting the keys back from your parent. It worked for me!br /br /Linda Owenbr /-author of LADY PRESIDENT uplifting, respectful and relevant February 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I lost my grandfather recently to Alzheimer's disease and am currently repeating the same terrible ordeal with my grandmother. It is a long, long, painful journey and many questions and concerns have burdened my family while dealing with this affliction. Ms. Calo-oy's book provides an exhaustive reference for the myriads of scenarios and situations a caregiver will encounter. This book is written from a sensitive and respectful point of view that not only addresses the loved one's many needs, but the often unknown and misunderstood needs of the caregiver as well. I found this book very encouraging and uplifting. I recommend this book to any individual or institution that is involved with caregiving!
