As a family caregiver of a loved one who is ill, you are juggling multiple jobs. You are nurse, counsellor, dietitian, secretary, friend and emotional anchor – all rolled into one. 

However sincere you are about your responsibilities, the stress can mount up quickly and cascade onto the lives of others in the household. How do you keep your patient well and happy and keep yourself and your family calm and happy, too? 

The Caregiver’s Guidebook brings you ideas to help you stay organised, so you can look after your loved one with minimum stress. Yes, there will be good days and bad days, and we have tips to help you cope with those days as well. Every caregiver should understand that if you don’t look after yourself, you can’t look after anyone. 

This e-guide (first in the series) covers the following topics:

1. Preparing for the doctor’s visit

2. How to get the most out of the doctor’s visit

3. Administering medications without mistakes  – drawing up a medication chart

4. Caring for the caregiver – that means YOU
