Hosted by Deemers, the founder of Caregivers, Inc. and a gerontologist, this useful product is conversational and reassuring without being patronizing. As the number of elderly and their longevity increase, most adults will be called upon at one time or another to act as caregivers, even though they usually have no formal training. This clearly organized, pragmatic series offers a wealth of information about issues dealing with aging and caregiving. The workbook and six cassettes each deal with a separate issue such as legal/financial considerations, long-distance caregiving, homecare options, and workplace balance. The individual cassettes can be used sequentially or independently. Included are numerous addresses, phone numbers, and web sites. This comprehensive resource will be especially valuable to any collection servicing a senior population, including most public libraries.?Susan McCaffrey, Sturgis Middle Sch., Mich.
