Senior Days:
Insightful Tales and No-Nonsense Help from the Frontlines of Eldercare
by Colleen Nicol (Paperback - Jan 15, 2008)
Book Description provided by the Publisher (Long Lake Press, LLC):
Colleen Nicol's experiences as an in-home caregiver are often humorous, always poignant and sometimes sad. In the flick of a sentence, these tales jump from moments of high drama to sparks of laugh-out-loud hilarity. You'll meet the 94-year-old gigolo, the blind lady who could suddenly see, and the woman who couldn't stop shopping. Nicol's book goes well beyond the stories. It s filled with caregiving tips, expert advice and important resources. An indispensable guide for caregivers.
