New edition of Family Carer and Seniors guide

The 2015 edition of the Family Carer and Senior Citizens Guidebook has been published by Home Instead Senior Care, writes Brian Byrne.

The Guidebook provides practical information and advice to the more than 50,000 caregivers in Ireland who look after elderly parents and relatives.

“Being a caregiver can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Caregivers often feel overwhelmed by the work and the demands of those receiving their care,” says Amanda Bohan, Owner and Managing Director of Home Instead Senior Care in Kilcullen. "Over time caregivers pay a high emotional, physical, social and financial price for caring and giving. The Family Carer and Senior Citizen Guidebook is a support to caregivers and encourages them in their labour of love."

The Guidebook is produced with the support of Age Action, Nursing Homes Ireland and Age and Opportunity. Among the contents are Allowances and Entitlements, Financial Advice, Legal Information, Community Support, and Care Options.
