5 books to make caregiving a little more manageable
DNYUZ; 8/19/24
Tina Sadarangani, a geriatric nurse practitioner in New York City, has spent years working with older adults and their families. She counsels patients on the medications they should take, the eating habits they should change and the specialists they should see.

- Helping Yourself Help Others, by Rosalyn Carter ...
- Travelers to Unimaginable Lands, by Dasha Kiper ...
- When the Time Comes, by Paula Span ...
- Passages in Caregiving, by Gail Sheehy ...
