Lydia Lee Garrett, who started as a caregiver in 1967, and received her
Certification as a Nurses' Aide in 1978 , has produced a work which, while
extensively researched, was described as feeling "like having a long cozy chat
with a caring, experienced mentor." With a background ranging from hospital
wards to the intensely one-on-one world of in-home hospice work, she uses her
own experiences, and those of colleagues to illustrate key points. Using
expertise, wit, and compassion, she provides guidance and advice on topics
ranging from "Internet Etiquette" and shopping for the client to "Sex,
Love, and the Client." There are sections for the caregiver and for the potential client
on how to find the right agency or registry. Can't find a registry you like?
There is a section on how to start your own.
Clear statements of the rights and responsibilities of Caregiver, client, and
family are at the heart of the book. Professional relationships, like all
others, thrive when each person has an understanding of their own role, and of
how that role fits in with the other parties.
A year of book tours, consultations, and seminars
produced a wealth of "what about....?" questions.
The answers, and their impact of the involved parties, form the basis of the
second edition. There are over a hundred new pages. Existing
sections were expanded and enriched, and entirely new sections were added.
