      Knowing the immense responsibility it can become, and while the drama of such an undertaking in your life such as caring for your elderly parent(s) or other loved one(s) can seem insurmountable and complicated, our hope is that this booklet of vital resources will help lighten your load.

I have been the Queen of Denial up until the writing of this book, but, funny, isn’t it, how sometimes life 'just up and smacks ya' with reality when you least expect it!

Having been a Certified Nursing Aide and Home Health Care Aide off and on for a few decades, I was able to slide right into the new venture of this book. Of all the positions of employment I have held over half a century in the workforce, caring for the elderly has been
