Eldercare Series: Estate Downsizing for Caregivers : Transitioning from a home to an apartment or care facility (Edition 1) (Paperback)

The elderly often need to downsize their lives and lifestyles due to financial, economic, physical, health, or emotional needs. Estate Downsizing for Caregivers is aimed at caregivers and explains how they can help an elderly person with the process of downsizing, while reducing the stress that comes with a big move.

Deciding what to do with a lifetime worth of treasures can be a daunting task. It is important not to overstep and begin discarding items that may not seem important; someone’s life and memories are being reduced. As a caregiver, you can help ease the process as there are things you can do to expedite the process while making it easier on the elderly person.

This book is designed for caregivers of all types: spouses, adult children, siblings, nurses, neighbors, friends, and caregiving professionals. Estate Downsizing for Caregivers will help all kinds of caregivers ask the right questions, deal with the stress of minimizing a senior’s household possessions, and understand why a simple task can turn into a monumental issue (and how you can make it less stressful for all involved).
