A Carer's Guide

Every day in Australia, tens of thousands of people care for loved ones at home. This is often a difficult road for volunteer carers, particularly when the illness is a debilitating and progressive one such as dementia.

Most carers find themselves thrust into the role ill-prepared and intimidated by a multitude of troubling questions. A Carer's Guide combines useful information for all carers with a touching personal odyssey by Rosette Teitel, who nursed her husband through vascular dementia until his death.

Specific information on requirements in Australia and New Zealand have been added by Sharon Wall, an Australian health professional, author and aged care consultant who draws on twenty-five years' experience in the aged care sector. Experiences of carers who describe their daily challenges in an honest and direct way are included throughout the book.
