A Book Designed for Distance Caregivers

Whether you live 10, 100 or 1,000 miles away, Managing Elder Care from Afar will help you stay organized, save time and manage your parent's care from anywhere. 

Distance caregivers are people who manage care for a loved one primarily by phone, video conferencing, email, and/or the internet. Perhaps you are one already. Or maybe it's a looming necessity that seems impossible to achieve. But now there's good news.

This book will help you learn how to manage caregiving quickly by answering some of the questions you might be struggling with right now such as:

• How do I navigate difficult conversations about the need for coordinated care and get past "I refuse to move" discussion enders?
  
• How do I get my siblings or other family members to pitch in and help out?
  
• How do I know what's really going on when I can't be there to see it firsthand?
  
• How do I use durable power of attorney to manage my parent's finances?
  
• How do I protect my parent from identity theft?
  
• When should I use medical power of attorney to make health care decisions on their behalf?
  
• What's the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
  
• Does my parent need long-term care insurance?
  
• How do I compare eldercare at home with assisted living costs?
  
• What are the 5 signs it's time to consider a move to assisted living?
  
• How can I plan for my parent's future care?!
  

Wherever you are in this daunting process, this book will help you manage all aspects of your parent's care from afar by systematizing as many routine caregiving activities as possible, organizing all the information you need at your fingertips, and documenting things so that others CAN help you.
