“The usefulness of this book to the elderly and terminally ill is priceless to them and their families.  In the eight years I’ve worked in long-term care, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched a family struggle to make decisions about a loved ones care without having the knowledge of what the person would have wanted.  This book eliminates that problem and also gives the family a keepsake of the loved ones life.  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the process.”

Wendy J. Vorderbruggen, RHIT

 

“This is an easy to read and more importantly, an easy to use tool for personal information and directives.  The most fulfilling thing a caregiver or family can do is to meet a resident or clients needs COMPLETELY.  This book will make that possible.  Paula’s care-giving experience and compassion for people are evident in her book.  A person should feel peace of mind completing this care guide.”

                       Diane Witt, RN Director of Home Care Agency

 

“I got so interested in the material! What a wonderful idea!”

“As a Clinical Education Consultant in the long-term care industry I travel nationwide and recognize the great need for this fantastic tool.  A wealth of complex life choices can be captured in this easy to read/must do, for anyone who plans on getting old, but especially for those who don’t plan!”

Danielle VanHyfte, Clinical Education Consultant, healthcare trainer.

 

“This is a great tool!  Filling out this book was thought provoking and lots of fun.  It’s a good source of information about you, for your family and caregivers.  What a great way to express your wishes in your care and in the many decisions that may become necessary.”

Kathy Blascyk, CFCP

“I recently lost my grandmother who got sick and passed away in a matter of weeks.  She had spent the past twenty-five years caring for my grandfather in their home.  Fortunately, we knew my grandmother’s wishes so we could spend our last days together simply enjoying each other.  Not everyone can be taken care of by their spouse and many people might never share their wishes about their healthcare with their family.  Paula’s well thought out and compassionate workbook can help people document their own wishes for their own care so the time spent with family is meaningful, special and comfortable.”

Dena J. Thorson, Educator
