Visiting With The Elderly

Tuesday, April 06, 2010

Visiting with Elders: Strategies to help you have a meaningful and rich visit with an elderly loved one, is a small book I authored that has touched a responsive nerve in the community. The overwhelming public response to a Toronto Star article in December, 2009, on the book, reflects the reality that so many people are grappling with issues related to caring for elders in their extended family and friendship network. This book offers hope for all those who are struggling to understand the impact of changes in a cognitive capacity on the older people they love and care about. It suggests a way of understanding the older person as someone who maintains a sense of identity that continues to evolve and that needs affirmation from all the people in their day-to-day lives. These relationships are important.
