So Far Away: Twenty Questions for Long-Distance Caregivers
Approximately 7 million adults are long-distance caregivers, mostly caring for aging parents who live an hour or more away. Anyone, anywhere can be a long-distance caregiver. Many long-distance caregivers act as information coordinators, helping with home health, insurance benefits, medical care, and legal issues.
So Far Away, Twenty Questions for Long-Distance Caregivers, organized in a question/answer format, features 20 of the most commonly asked questions about long-distance caregiving, and includes detailed information and tips about:
• how to know if help is needed,
• things to do to feel less frustrated,
• geriatric care managers,
• visiting with the doctor,
• home safety and AD,
• moving to long-term care,
• future health care preferences,
• advance directives and living wills,
• dealing with a terminal illness.
Many helpful government and nonprofit organizations are listed as resources in the back of the booklet.
