Caregiving: It's the Little Things that Matter!

Today, I would like to share a resource to help you as a caregiver. Caregiving is hard work. Have you noticed that it's easy to run out of steam before you get everything done that is nessesary. It is next to impossible to do the things that would be good and they get put off and thus never get done!
A friend of mine, Jolene Philo, has created a resource that is designed to help you be a better caretaker and advocate for a loved one. It's the Caregiver's Notebook.

 

Here are some sample pages you will find in the Caregiver's Notebook.



 

 

Jolene has a vlog series on how to use each section of the notebook. You can find this at her website, Differentdream.com. Jolene has many wonderful caregiving articles. You can also fine out about her books and speaking availability.

I think a busy caregiver will find that advocating will become much easier with the addition of this resource where all the information is in a compact and handy format.
