The Caregiver's Path to Compassionate Decision Making

The Caregiver’s Path to Compassionate Decision Making: Making Choices for Those Who Can’t.

(www.thecaregiverspath.com and/or www.kindethics.com )

 ISBN: 978-1-60832-041-7

The book helps families dealing with Alzheimer’s (and other dementias), strokes, brain injuries, mental illnesses, developmental delays and other mental limitations who have lost their ability to make their own decisions. Their caregivers struggle with the constant angst of, “Am I doing the right thing? Have I made the right decision?”

The Caregiver’s Path helps these caregivers make ethical, heartfelt decisions that honor and respect the patient’s wishes, and to relieve their stress and angst. The book also addresses many end-of-life issues as well, and the other issues such as “When to take the car keys away?” and “Breaking your promise to not place a loved one in a nursing home.”

The info is practical and easy to apply—which is why the book is so helpful!
