Publisher Description
Careless Caregivers is not a planner or guide to eldercare nor is it a diary or journal relating an eldercare odyssey. Rather, it is a short collection of true stories about one family’s eldercare experience with hired in-home caregivers. Told in a blunt and humorous fashion, the book has a simple objective—to rally aging parents and their children to mentally and financially prepare for an unavoidable future.
Readers will find stories that are simultaneously ridiculous, touching, appalling and entertaining, a combination that represents the reality of caring for parents who are aging-in-place. Rosanna Fay shares just a handful of her family’s personal experiences with paid in-home caregivers to make a powerful point; the problem of eldercare options is far worse than most people imagine and denial is every family’s biggest enemy.
