Each chapter is peppered with real-life cases and thoughts of family caregivers, and ends with tip sheets and space for journal entries. An extensive list of caregiver organizations and other resources is provided, and a glossary of eldercare terms is included. Beerman is president of a consulting firm specializing in geriatrics.
