(Each month, we take a closer look at an aspect of your caregiving experience. In July, we offer ideas on how to work effectively with your health care team.)

Your Health Care Team

Docs, Aides and Drugs: All in the Right Doses

Wouldn’t it be great if you only had to worry about you and your care recipient? Unfortunately, your caregiving role means you have worries times three or four: You worry about hiring help in the home, about the possibility of nursing home placement and its repercussions, about whether or not the doctor really and truly has your care recipient’s best interest at heart. Because you know: Your health care team often can make or break your caregiving experience.

   In this issue, we take a closer look at the relationships you have with your health care team and offer insights and suggestions to ensure the relationships work for you. You are caregiver and you are advocate, both roles go hand in hand. And, both roles are critical in working with health care professionals. Advocate for you and your care recipient and belief that you’ll find the health care team that meets what you and your care recipient need.

   In this issue, we also help you plan for the upcoming holiday season. Hard to believe we’re only weeks away from Thanksgiving. We hope the holiday guide helps you manage the holiday season so you, your family and your care recipient know the true meaning to the season: Joy, love and laughter.
