Farley here,

My friend, Joan Y. Edwards, is having a special day.

As you know, I’m getting older. I’m almost 8 now, and that’s a lot in dog years. Kristina will take care of me as I get older, but humans need care too. So, Joan has written a guide about caring for the elderly, and I think it might help my human friends.

Today, Joan’s book, JOAN’S ELDER CARE GUIDE, is available.

Joan asked me to help spread the word, and how could I not? She’s been following Farley’s Friday for years, and always has  a word of encouragement for me.

So here I am, wagging my tail in encouragement at Joan.

Go, Joan, Go.

What’s her book about…

Joan’s Elder Care Guide: Empowering You and Your Elder to Survive gives you, the caregiver, ways to meet your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social needs and those of your elder to promote healing, well-being, and survival. Based on the author’s research and fourteen years of experience caring for her mother, this book provides many resources to find the right place for your elder to live, explains ways to improve communication to help find solutions to problems, and gives organization ideas for medical, financial, insurance, and legal documents.

It offers ways for a caregiver to get time away from caregiving responsibilities and contains information substitute caregivers must have to keep their elders safe. Along with all this, the book explains the signs of the end of life, ways to celebrate an elder’s life, and gives duties of an executor of an estate. It also includes ten useful charts to assist in assessing and recording an elder’s needs and capabilities.

Woof Woof.
