The Dutiful Daughter's Guide to Caregiving with Judith D. Henry_041


Listen Later

Judith was living and working on the West Coast when her parents' health declined, requiring her to return to Florida to be able to assist with their care. As a result of her family caregiver experience, she wrote a handbook which offers invaluable information to other family caregivers that she learned the hard way.

The Dutiful Daughter's Guide to Caregiving: A Practical Memoir 

In her book, Judith shares invaluable information which reinforces the need to ask questions like:

  • How long will my Mom/Dad be in the hospital?
  • Are they admitted or under observation status?

And to consider the "real cost of caregiving", because it very often affects YOU!! There are 65 million family caregivers and 60% of them (mostly women) are working outside the home, while providing care. It is SO important to understand the complexities of this.
