The AARP Bulletin has a special report on caregiving in its November 2015 issue. November is national family caregivers month.
There’s a good article on tech gadgets, such as fall-prevention lighting and a floor-mat alarm, here: www.aarp.org/home-family/caregiving/info-2015/caregiving-gadgets-technology-caregiver.html
In the print version of the AARP Bulletin, there are short articles on these topics:
- The Demands and Rewards of Dementia Patients
- Millions of Millennials Are Giving Back
- Dealing with Veterans’ Invisible Wounds
- More Men Fill Traditionally Female Role
- Squeezed Between Two Generations with Needs
- When Caregiving is Round the Clock
- Taking on Complex Medical Tasks
Each article is short. For me, the most interesting were about round-the-clock caregiving and taking on complex medical tasks.
You can find a link to the articles here: www.aarp.org/home-family/caregiving/info-2015/caregivers-profiles-depression-cancer-arthritis.html (Online, it appears as one long article rather than several smaller articles.)
And there’s a link to a list of resources and services: www.aarp.org/home-family/caregiving/info-2015/caregiving-help-resources-caregivers.html
