Caregivers can find a helpful tips kit online

Sometimes you become a caregiver gradually over the years, sometimes it is sudden and unexpected.
A child with a mental or physical handicap, a frail or sick parent, a spouse who suffers a stroke or heart attack, or a friend who has been in an accident could make you a caregiver - someone who helps aging, ill or disabled family members or friends manage their daily lives.
To help you with your role, get a free caregiver kit developed by AssistGuide Information Services, a business that works with government and non-profit agencies, insurance companies and other long-term care facilities to provide online information on services for elderly and disabled people.
What is a caregiver kit? A combination of several helpful checklists, tips on communicating, reminders about which records, files and documents you might need and advice on taking care of yourself while caring for another person.
What kind of information is provided? A list of questions to help you get started such as, "What are your loved one's wishes and preferences?" and questions to assess your loved one's needs, such as, "Is he or she likely to need a skilled nursing facility or nursing home in the future?"
Where do I get one? Go to caregiverkit .
