In this extensive guide, caregiver advocate Carolyn Brent outlines a step-by-step process so caregivers know what to do and what to ask in every situation that may arise, including signs that your loved one needs more assistance, what to look for in a retirement home, caretaking in your own home, how to manage difficult family relationships, and ensuring you are getting the help you need.
