Home Care Assistance, North America’s premier provider of in-home senior care, is excited to announce its newest book, The Handbook of Live-in Care. This is the second book published in the Home Care Assistance senior wellness series, following the wildly popular Happy to 102: The Best Kept Secrets to a Long and Happy Life.

Written by Dr. Kathy N. Johnson, Dr. James H. Johnson and Lily Sarafan of Home Care Assistance, The Handbook draws from their combined 28 years of experience in senior care. Covering everything from the psychology of homebound seniors to caregiver tips on nutrition, exercise and oral healthcare for seniors, The Handbook is the first definitive resource for family caregivers.

“This year, family caregivers will provide 12 billion hours of care for their loved ones, and the number continues to grow,” said Lily Sarafan. “These family caregivers, though well-intentioned, are often inexperienced with the needs of an aging senior. As a result, family caregivers are seven times more likely than the average adult to suffer from stress or depression. Our book aims to provide these caregivers with a how-to guide for their most common questions and challenges.”

“Caregiving takes a tremendous emotional toll,” said Dr. Kathy Johnson, Founder and CEO of Home Care Assistance. “Adult sons and daughters are especially vulnerable as they balance the needs of their elder loved ones, their families and children and their social and work responsibilities. This book will help them manage the stress associated with caregiving and recognize when it may be time to hire a home care agency.”

The Handbook of Live-In Care: A Guide for Caregivers, can be purchased online at Amazon.com.

A family in Sonoma County has used a Home Care Cottage to adapt a Grandmother’s home to a living situation that allows for her Home Care by her children and grandchildren while giving everyone the private space they need to enjoy their independence.

Grandma lives in the Home Care Cottage while the children and grandchildren enjoy the big house. The Children give grandma rent that gives her some income. The children will eventually be left the family home when Grandma passes away, and the money they contributed to her retirement income will have been payments toward the ownership of their family home.

Most Home Care Cottage stories are family stories, as families find new ways to cope with changing economic challenges. There is a trend back to Home Care as costs of assisted living continue to climb.

On October 20, 2011 we completed a model of our Home Care Cottage. You can visit our display yard any Saturday from 10 to 4 or by appointment during the week.
