A Guide for People Who Care
Table of Contents -- (Disclaimer)
An online resource guide for the growing number of Americans who are caring
for an older family member, adult child with disabilities, or older friend.
This Guide provides information and a range of suggestions to make caregiving
easier and more successful--whether you are the caregiver or the person
who ensures that your family member or friend receives the best possible
care from others. Since this Guide contains many links to outside references,
the online html version is recommended; for better printing, a PDF version
is available also.
