What's a Care Tip?

Caring for a Distant Parent

Tips from Daughters and Sons Who've Cared

Each Care Tip follows a standard format:

•Usually a brief real-life example of the issue to be discussed;

•A statement of the tip with definitions and descriptions;

•Questions to ask, suggestions for action, tips;

•Phrases for on-line or library searching;  and

•Resources for more reading.

In my book, CARING FOR A DISTANT PARENT, the Care Tips follow the sequence of events that each caregiver and parent faces as the parent declines in health or functioning.

Care Tips:

• Contain resources and inspiration for you—the adult child caring at a distance.
  

• Are suggestions and guidelines, not substitutes for professional advice.
  

• Guide you to information sources.
  

• Reassure you that you are not alone as you face each new challenge.
