Sanity Saving Guidance
These two experts dedicated to bringing you back from the edge offer sanity-saving guidance, tips and wisdom from their own decades of experience living and breathing eldercare. Between them, they bring 45 years of personal and professional caregiving to their audience.
Blankenship’s book is a practical guide to dealing with the most vexing topics in eldercare. She helps her readers navigate the process with humor and stress-relieving advice to get organized and prepared for the next elder emergency.
Cornish focuses on the caregiver, helping them move from the helpless feeling of realizing a loved one needs care through the process of care. And, finally, to the point of acceptance and surrender.
These seasoned care professionals provide the street-smart guidance needed to successfully navigate a journey. One that no one ever plans for or looks forward to, but becomes a significant part of life as family members age. More information can be found at TheEldercareNavigator.com and tcgcares.com.
