| Annotation | There is little information available for those who care for someone at a distance, which could be as far away as another country or as close as next door. Caring at a distance brings with it unique problems and stressors, including the strain of commuting, financial strain and feelings of guilt. This book examines the particular difficulties that can be encountered when caring at a distance, and offers ideas, practical help and advice. Topics covered include: formulating plans for care; minimising risks; what to look for during visits, including incontinence, health checks, mental health problems, medicines, eating, and pets; contacting services; coping with caring; dealing with a relative's finances; keeping in touch; being a secondary carer; and practical purchases to make life easier. A list of useful organisations is also included. (AKM). |
