Knowledge For Caregivers Podcast

The Knowledge for Caregivers Podcast will provide practical tips from a geriatric nurse's perspective on how to help your aged love one. The world is experiencing an explosion of people living longer. At some point though, an aged person begins to need help. Most of that help is provided by family members. Family members usually begin a steep learning curve on how to help their aged loved ones. Every week I will provide practical tips that I use with my own family to help you navigate the care giving role.

Caregivers can help doctors make more informed diagnoses and develop effective treatment plans by keeping accurate records.
