Resource for caregivers - The Caregiver Compass

I have come across a really good resource for those of you looking after a parent or spouse. It's a care-giving guide for Canadians called The Caregiver Compass, and it's free. I'm not associated with this guide or the people who prepared it, but it looks pretty useful to me so I thought I'd pass it on to you. Here are some of the topics covered by the 60-page guide:

• Where to begin as a caregiver;
• Important conversations with family and friends;
• Caregiving responsibilities such as daily living needs and home safety;
• Managing finances and legal arrangements; and
• Preventing caregiver burnout.

It's available to view online, as a download, and a printed handbook. Click on the link below to have a look.
